Lets not make the same mistake Microsoft made when it did not offer networking support in its initial operating systems and Billy even made a statement about this. Later on they were forced to add networking support for a multi-user environment. Please note that T___y is already being used in multi-user setups even in ordinary shops and small offices. Nowadays there is more than one computer in various offices and there are more than one employees making entries. Security is essential to ensure that the employee who uses Gnukhata does not screw it up when he is switching over to a new job. Plus in Windows he should be able to run this software as an unprivileged user. The first migration to Gnukhata will take place in windows for T___y users. Once they get familiar, they will migrate to Linux.
I don't know who from the gnukhata team claimed that we don't have networking and multi user support? Infact this is the main reason Comet Media Foundation is using GNUKhata. I think making the mistake microsoft made is a stupidity and only unprofessional immatured programmers would *probably* do it.
I want to ask one question to all readers, Will the end-user ever care if we have postgresql or mysql at the back-end unless he is a programmer or a techno person?
The objections were raised by a programmer cum hacker and his opinion does carry weight if it helps improvise and simplify the target software.
The objection would carry *wait* if they are made after testing, bench marking and proper analysis. And in this case that's not true and involved developers are well into the tools they are using.
