I am wondering what the most widely used business accounting software is? Or which programs would be the best to know?

Some software include:
Adempiere
Compiere
LedgerSMB
phpCompta
phpOrganisation
Quasar Accounting
SQL Ledger
Tiny ERP
TurboCASH
osFinancials

Which of this is the best in terms of the easiest to learn, most popular and best for making reports such as balance sheets and cash flow statements.

Are these free software comparable to the retail software such as Simply Accounting and QuickBooks?
Quick Books vs. Microsoft Office Accounting?

Does MS Accounting have OS operational issues?

I am running a business over 3 years not maintaining proper books and accounting software. Please advice how to maintain proper book of accounts and accounting software?

What is the easiest, most userfriendly, most popular accounting software out there?

quite simply, I have a business, I opened another one, and the first one will be closing it’s doors in a few weeeks. All the money left over from the first one will be transferred to the checking account of the new one? What is the most (legally and financially) correct way of recording this in my accounting software (Quickbooks 2007).

Thanks

Accounting corporations usually use their own accounting software programs. Are all accounting software programs compatible with Excel? In other words, can data be transferred into Excel files?
