Rick you are spot on here. If you were conducting interviews for a job - would you take the brand new college graduate or the proven candidate with 15 years of successful experience. In same cases you want the graduate as you want some new energy and are prepared to live through mistakes, pain and issues while at the same time mentoring and training them. Other times you want someone that will 'just work', and do everything you want without creating drama. I fully understand why some companies will pick 365. I understand why many will still recruit GP. I do not see any of them firing the experienced GP to hire a graduate.

If you want GP in the cloud, use Terminal Server or Citrix and a VPN. Do this in-house or a hosting company. You get all the benefits of a cloud based solution, such as anywhere access, secure data storage, central management, along with a proven software solution, and none of the limitations of Dynamics 365. Does it really make a difference if the forms are not web based/HTML? Many of my clients are moving to this "cloud" solution. A remote desktop also has full Excel and Word support, and can be used from a Mac. Why is this solution not pushed more? Don
