You want folks off Windows, you have to get all their exact software

 Lucky for me it all does. Of course that also means while I prefer Linux I
can also do all the same things on Windows.

Cross platform will be what is needed to get folks over to Linux.
My shop is Linux.  I have had to "learn" different things
than the standard Windows crowd.  I ever wrote my own
accounting system.
But then again, I am not allergic to learning new/different
things.
Have yet to find a bookkeeper that actually understand
double balance bookkeeping and can operate GnuCash,
which is also cross platform.
I adore GnuCash, but it does not have payroll  or inventory,
so small businesses (my customer base) is stuck with Quickbooks.
Quickbooks has an online version, but every bookkeeper
I have come across hates it.
Linux is a far superior operating system, and not by a
little, by a lot.  But M$ has won the application wars.
