There is a barrier of entry for many corporate clients because of the lack of quality accounting packages for Linux. ACCPAC is a well-known, powerful accounting package from this CA affiliate.
The press release claims that the product runs on Linux on the client and the server, but I didn't see a client module on their web site. Hopefully this will change soon. There will also need to be more people using this to make sure that the accompanying Excel spreadsheets work in OpenOffice.
I'm hoping this is just growing pains and this will turn out to be a solid Linux product. And, of course, once a big company like CA gets a product like this onto Linux, we should see other products follow suit to stay competitive. With the likely exception of Great Plains, of course<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)
