You need to read the article. It is based on GNOME 2.0. The only reference to GNOME 2.2 was that GNOME 2.2 will have been out for a couple of months by the time Ximian releases their 2.0 desktop! It never states that Ximian Desktop 2.0 is based on GNOME 2.2
In my case I focused on a small market, DREs (Drug Recognition Experts), of which there are only 1,500 nation wide. These people work with law enforcement and when you get pulled over, usally are the ones who give you the evaluation. Before my software, they would give you the evaluation and they would take their notes. Then when they returned to their office, they would then have to manually fill out an evaluation form on paper. The solution provided was a Palm Application and a Desktop application. When giving the evaluation to the subject, they would also be filling out the evaluation on the Palm. Then when they returned to the office they would sync the Palm and the desktop application would pick up the new evaluations. In the desktop application would be a record of all the evaluations they performed. The desktop application allowed them to print reports, save the reports in either Text, PDF, or HTLM format, and allowed them to export/import evaluations, which they could give to their DRE Coordinator. The key to the success was that the solution provided added real value, and the value added by the software far outweighed the cost of the software.
Umm, this is pretty much pointless. Unless they implement standard Antialiasing, your eyes will be better off with out it. If you want REAL Antialiasing support, get KDE2!
The answer is simple if you read the article. He is in direct competition with the auto idustry. A mass market device capable of eliminating the need for a car. It would be like going to Microsoft with your idea for a next generation OS for the PC.
Just my analasys
The majority of the fi's we support, offer on-line banking (getting your balances and account activity) free of charge. It is the Bill Pay portion that they charge for! Vince
I work for a company that provides banking solutions to over 1,500 Financial Institutions. One of these solutions is On-line banking and bill pay. Customers can use either our own PC/Buisness Banking, Internet Banking, and Touch-tone Banking products or they can use Money 99 & 2000, or Quicken 2000 for the PC (MAC not supported since Quicken 2000 for the MAC doesn't support OFX, Intuit states that Quicken 2001 for the MAC will support OFX even though they promised us that Quicken 2000 for the MAC would). For those of you who don't know, before OFX (Open Financial Exchange) there was a protocal by the name of OFC (Open Financial Conectivity) that was being pushed by Microsoft. The OFC protocal was not sufficiant and so OFX was created.
OFX uses standard tags like in HTML for communication with the server. The problem for GNU Cash is that they will need to work closely with each bank they plan to support. They have to know what order data will be transfered and what type of data is being transfered. This is no easy task!! The company I work for works closely with Microsoft and Intuit to ensure proper operation of the products and that they support the banks that we offer this service to. Both Money and Quicken store setup info on their own servers for each bank, because each bank can customize their offerings. So even if OFX support is added to GnuCash, they will still need to work with the fi's to get them to support it.
Whithin the next couple of months I will be moving over to the development team and mabey I can have them to get in contact with the developers of GnuCash to have discussions about adding OFX services. It will be a long shot, since our company is pretty much Microsoft everything except we use Notes instead of Outlook!
We also provide stand alone Bill Pay for Money 2000. More info can be found at www.mibillpay.com

Good luck!
