saswata - you have hugely misunderstood this thread. We are not interested in *testing* software. We are interested in *creating* software. For this we need three people:
- a CA
- a merchant
- a coder
So what is the synopsis? What is the final outcome of this discussion?
KK, is there a windows version going to be available anytime sooner or later?
IMVVHO unless you have a client server architecture, with the server + database on linux, you are going to wind up running a losing race.
As a business if you need the doze user, you have to separate your support cost from the doze support hassle and cost. Since accounts is a core function in any business you are going to get called everytime doze screws up. The cost of hardware is negligible even for the SME / CA office. Once the linux box is up your support costs are near zero.
IMO supporting an exe on a doze box is suicide. Doubly so in this case, since you will have several platforms to maintain (XP, MS2000 /2003 / 200? /VIsta /XP /??). Even providing a client exe is going to be nightmare never mind db + app.
BTW i practice this. And it works like a charm. And every now and then my box will be the only thing working smoothly while the rest of the systems undergo their periodic brain surgeries. And inevitably customers start asking about how to get rid of doze.
