Intuit Finally Offers Some Support For Linux

Posted by kdawson on from the double-entry-penguins dept.

walterbyrd sends us to the ZDNet blog, where Dan Farber & Larry Dignan write: "Intuit said Wednesday it will allow QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions to operate on Linux servers. For Intuit, the move is a bit of a milestone — QuickBooks is the first of its products [to] work on open source software."

    Finally, a product that allows all the F/OSS zealots to keep track of all the $0.00 software expenditures that they've racked up...

    Patience fastboy, it takes drops to fill the bucket.

    You do your bit of supporting the community and see many more results like this in future.

    Amen :-)

    As a one time user of Quickbooks I would rather

    1) eat a Quickbooks CD ROM
    2) defecate the results violently all over my keyboard
    3) write a QuickBooks replacement in assembly (without wiping the keyboard)
    4) burn the resulting software onto CD
    5) row to the Artic in a wok and shove the CD up a polar bear's anus
    6) fight and kill the polar bear armed with only my shitty keyboard
    7) eat the polar bear
    8) defecate the results violently into the wok
    9) row home in the wok

    I think you may guess my opinion of Intuit's software.
