Tally 7.2 is now Linux certified
Tally, the leading provider of accounting and inventory business application solutions, has announced their partnership with Red Hat, the world�s leading provider of open source to the enterprise. Tally 7.2 will now be made available also on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform. Linux is less vulnerable to viruses. The SME segment an now benefit from the advantages of Linux - performance, security and value on the desktop. The objective of this partnership is to provide the growing SME market a secure, stable and a cost effective alternative for their computing needs.
This topic is done to death without any solution resurrection in sight and since I recently fired the thread, i'll sign out of this thread atleast with this last message.
I am not sure if "linux certified" (whatever that is) is same as Redhat Certified. Is there something like Linux Certified? What do they mean? Which entity certifies on the behalf of "linux"? Will it work on any and all distros? Is certification a definitive and closed statement of "We will only support what is certified" or a generic and open ended statement of "atleast works on this, rest go figure, we dont care".
At the risk of sounding anal, it would be fair to say that Tally 7.2 is now Redhat certified.
At this point i would like nothing better than to be told what I have just said is indeed a case of reading too much in between the lines, but thats how I see it. Lets talk about cloning Tally. Maybe call it Lally.

Can any person highlight the main reasons why Tally beats any other accounting package that is available?
Why is it everyone is stuck to Tally? Is it just because they've been around the longest and users (CAs or accountants) are used to the UI ...... OR does their package truly have better value to offer that other GNU/Linux accounting packages don't have?
For example, the UI in GNU/Linux (X Windows with KDE / Gnome) is different from Windows, but the value is close with a superior and more stable base.

Tally was popular with small business and with CAs since it allows you to insert and delete vouchers at will without leaving any trail and with the software automatically renumbering the remaining vouchers. That allowed CAs to doctor books for tax evation.
What they fail to see is that in corporate world, it is a really stupid thing to do. While you think you are saving Rs. 100 on tax, it is very likely that someone else has already taken rs. 200 out of your accounts and pocketed it.

At that time, tally was the best thing to those who didnt want to pay a lot of money. Later, tally made sure enough trained people were available to operate tally, no other software did that.
