[moneydance] Bank of America issues

[Richard Hendershot]

get moneydance on store shelves, and if it takes a significant portion
of the market, then a push to have it widely supported has a chance.
IMO, a small chance even then.  Ditto Mac.

These companies don't have the resources to test every solution out
there and even less for training of the questions that would come at
them from Moneydance users.  That isn't going to change.

If Moneydance were to provide a server-based solution that these
companies could just plug into .NET/Weblogic/Websphere then they might
be willing to take it on.  But development for even a 10% share?  Not
likely.

If Moneydance could 'work just like Quicken' then only we MD customers
would have to care.  I'm sure there are patent issues with something of
that nature.  A F/OSS layer that did the 'just like Quicken' thing, that
MD could connect to on the local machine (a web server locally) might be
doable. But it would be a support nightmare as Quicken/Money changed
their tech over time.  And, again, for such a small segment?

Frankly, it seems a lost cause to me.  MD is the place where the work
has to happen.  You'll never convince Corporations to spend even a
tenth-cent on anything that isn't immediately palpable to Wall Street
and Directors.  And those folks are going to use Money, or *maybe*
Quicken, so long as they breath ;)
