On theAppleBlog <http://theappleblog.com/2009/01/21/running-quickbooks-for-windows-on-your-mac/>,
Weldon Dodd notes that the exception to this is when you need to run the
multi-user version of QuickBooks:

    What I recommend here is buying a cheap PC and installing QuickBooks for
    Windows with the "Install Database Server Only" option. This PC will then
    host your multi-user company file(s) which you can access over your office
    network from other computers running QuickBooks for Windows.

But most of us don't need multi-user QuickBooks.
