Linux and the tax office: never the twain shall meet

05/16/2008  
Relevance: 6.54
Australian citizens who use GNU/Linux in their businesses should be asking exactly that question of their tax authority. (However, I doubt that anyone will do so - apart from one person who has been asking the question for at least three years). It's a tale that runs over nearly three years. Australian businesses have to periodically submit activity statements to the Australian Taxation Office and most businesses use the online method. The tax office provides a client for its electronic commerce interface (ECI) which allows businesses to file activity statements over the internet. Clients exist only for Windows and the Apple Macintosh.

But what I’ve observed over the last few years is there is a big difference between the noble goals of community and what many businesses want.

Linux: making small businesses possible

06/04/2007  
Relevance: 5.34
I have a small company that builds websites for equally small businesses in the area and it's Linux that made this possible. If we would have been stuck on the Windows platform there is no way we could have done what we do because it would simply have been too expensive. I am sure the same is true for many start-ups. It is no coincidence that virtually all the successful start-ups of today are powered by open source software.

Relevance: 5.12

So why are medium and small businesses, the backbone of the US economy, not switching over to Linux? I have my own theories, working as an IT manager for a small company myself.[Warning: FUD ahead. While the author doesn't say the points are valid, he doesn't disprove them either. -- Sander]

Relevance: 5.06
Anne Zelenka recently predicted that software businesses will move from the extreme 'closed' and 'open' licensing models toward the center, what she refers to as 'clopen', or hybrid closed and open licensing models. I think she's missing something.

Relevance: 5.01
For a lot of small-to-medium-sized business, the holdout has been Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions. Despite its"Enterprise" name, Intuit has aimed the product at businesses ranging from 50 to 250 people.
