The Bottom Line	Microsoft Point of Sale is an expensive yet friendly retail-management package for mom-and-pop shops. It needs to polish its file-importing skills, though.	The well-designed QuickBooks Point of Sale Pro 4.0 is a cash register on steroids--a hardware and software system for managing a retail business.
