TurboCASH Open Source Accounting
Is TurboCASH a Linux or a Windows Project?

I found myself recently defending our Windows involvement with a Linux Open Source Advocate. We are on the same side, but the Open Source purists see all connections with the Windows world and the proprietary world as unsavory. Here at the TurboCASH project, we take a far more pragmatic approach.


Primarily we are accountants or small business owners doing a bit of accounting on the side. Yes we use operating systems and development environments to make and run our software, but they are tools. Our aim is to be pervasive, and if it means dealing with proprietary systems to get there, so be it. Turning away customers because they are Windows users is definitely not on our agenda.

One positive side of the Depression is that users are waking up to the idea that Free is not that bad after all. Seems that the idealistic ideas of software freedom and Open source quality are not as attractive drivers of demand as the sudden realization that by keeping $ 500 in your pocket, you can still get a great accounting package and have money for groceries.


TurboCASH registrations are firmly up in both the US an UK, traditional strongholds for proprietary software. But reports of success in the Open Source proejcts are coming in from Mulitple sources. Read how the French Police saved $ 50 Million implementing Linux. Read how 43 Million people have downloaded the latest version of Open Office.

Why is TurboCASH so complicated?

No accounting package can be everything to everyone. What is too complicated for one user is too simple for another. Many of us here in the TurboCASH project have been in the software development business for many years. We take pride in the fact that we are able to take something as complex as the accounting process and present it as a day to day garden application. Making it more featured or easier to use is a decision directed by our users.


Nobody starts out with the intention of making a program difficult to use. As developers we are always balancing this process - ease of use and adoptability against performance and features. Below us are spreadsheets, simple invoicing packages and personal money managers. Above us are ERP packages and workflow managers.
