I feel the differences between BP/MD and all the others is that Frank Pyefinch is both a GP and a computer programmer. The other packages were written by accountants to provide an appointment and billing package and tacked on a record system and prescribing package afterwards. This is why they are less intuitive and often less safe. Many have very sophisticated database structures to enable data mining. These are features than 99% of GP's couldnt give a damn about. They want to be able to prescribe safely and write the occasional note easily and print quickly and check path easily and safely. MD and BP do these things very well. We are used to MD, they have a large corporate infrastructure behind them, they have good support and the largest user base so the best potential financial backing etc.. Frank may in the end develop a better product, but he hasnt completed it yet. MD is also evolving further. They will continue to compete closely for years and we will all be better for the competition.

So. Is MD3 finished ? No, they admit so on their website. They even mention which modules haven't been completed yet! Was MD2 finished ? No. Is PS3 finished ? No. You say Frank is a GP & software developer. Who in MD3 now has that dual role ?
