I'd hardly call that enterprise software.

When you can make any of the following somewhat more painless, and marginally prettier, you'll make $$$:

- SAP

- PeopleSoft

- Pretty much any ERP or financial application

Agreed.

Painless to who? The person who uses enterprise software isn't the person who is buying it.

If I can give any startup (without a large sales team) any advice, it's stay far away from enterprise software. The only who might be able to pull it off is Workday or SalesForce.

Actually, to be fair to Microsoft, Dynamics AX 2012 is actually fairly reasonable looking.

And fairly easy to extend with C# to boot.
