I say don't hold back, a bit of controversy or out and out rudeness is what keeps most of us reading these blogs! ;-)

Hmm - so, when you say, as you do on your website: "Sage Accounting Software is the most widely used accounting software in the UK" do I respond: 'Actually, it's the spreadsheet' or do I say 'This is tosh' or do I yell: 'B**llx?' Sometimes it's hard to know.

I would say that a spreadsheet is a general business application, not accounting software, it does not do a VAT return, or even have nominal, sales or purchase ledgers. I guess it depends how broad you want to be about how you refer to the function of a piece of software.
Anyway, regarding my original point, this thread is the proof, you were rude or controvercial and I came back!

60% of businesses use the spreadsheet as their default accounting application: CEO Intuit on last earnings call.
The fact it isn't an accounting app doesn't seem to matter to these people. But then I'm doing something to fix that rather than debate the semantics ad nauseum.

It was you, not me, who started the discussion about this, my original comment was completely unrelated.
