Banned and deleted for liking / pushing / encouraging the development of Apple Macintosh products.

Oh yes, and for advertising. That was the one that I supposed to ban you for wasn't it.

I wish someone would encourage the development of Linux accounting products! I was half way through my long planned move from Windoze to Linux when I decided to go back into this business, and have had to stick with Windoze!

Hi John,

Are there not Windows emulators that run under Red Hat?

If not, I suspect that your campaign will fall upon the same deaf ears as my campaign to bring back DOS.

Computing was fun back then, now its all helpful and trying to make your life easier.

Pah. Kids today don't know they're born. (chuckle... I can sense the attention of Kris turning in my direction like the eye of Sauron)

I miss the DOS versions of Sage! With a network version you could have several instances of it running on the same computer, and access different parts of it at the same time!

There are emulators like WINE that run Windows programs in Linux, but there's no guarantee they will work properly. My initial test with Line 50 v8 worked fine, except the Report Generator, that may have just been some missing DLLs, but would have needed some work to fix. Taxcalc was fine too and I even did a test filing, but it wouldn't generate PDF reports. I think there would be so many problems like this that I couldn't use it to run a business.

You can run Windows in a virtual machine in Linux, but that means having a copy of Windows to run in it, and having the memory and processor power to run two operating systems at once. It just seems unnecessarily complicated, and I'd need to upgrade my hardware to run it.

My plan was to change to Linux when Windows XP support ended, which is what I was doing. Instead, I downgraded XP to Vista! But I've changed almost all my non accounting software to open source programs that are available for Linux and Windows.

I've run multiple operating systems on a single machine before. Simplest approach seems to be partition your hard drive, install each operating system that you need in a different partition along with the programs to run under that operating system and keep all of your data in dropbox to make sharing between parftitions simple.

Nowdays I would simply have a seperate machine for each operationg system... Don't think that I would ever infect any of them with Vista though, lol.
