I had no idea this was how QuickBooks even worked in the cloud. Could Intuit be in any way liable (like is this a sort of franchise type of thing)? Or is it closer to Word Press where different companies can install "QuickBooks Cloud" and then offer it?


Think “Microsoft Access in the cloud”. How would you do that without Microsoft’s cooperation? Virtual machines running Windows. Full service hosting, the works. This is classic ISP stuff, back when ISPs were service providers and not just Internet connections and other off the shelf no-touch products.
