I have not been able to find a PERSONAL finances program that is true multi-currency.  Would love a web-based one, but nothing so far. I can’t believe this does not exist. I have researched this literally for months.

if anybody knows of a true-multi-currency PERSONAL FINANCES program, preferably web-based, but can also be desktop-based, linux or windows I am all ears.

Can’t be that I am the only person in the world with these needs.

By true-multi currency I mean, historical exchange-rate PER TRANSACTION and fully balanced at all times.

To make it more interesting, I am offering the following bounties:

• $100 dollars to the person that finds a desktop one (windows or linux)
• $200 for a web-based one that is =<$25/month
• $300 for a web based and FREE.
• $350 web-based with multi-user and multi-language for =< $30/month

GNU-Cash, jGnash and moneydance are excluded.
Web-based ones must run in ALL mayor browsers. It can not be MS IExplorer (ie, active-x) only crap.

Feel free to forward this offer. Offer is valid to any person** in the world. 😀

Red Hat recently posted an interesting case study on how retail giant The Gap moved from a Unix and Windows based e-commerce infrastructure to one based on Red Hat Linux with support for Microsoft’s Active Directory via LikeWise, a product that improves the management and interoperability of Windows and Linux systems.

According to the case study, “Gap Inc. Direct needed to revamp its entire end-to-end business technology platform–from the customer-facing front-end system, to the back-end order management application, to the business tools that supported the company’s long-term growth strategy.”

Platform growth and adding new features were key to the underlying infrastructure and the ability to integrate a heterogeneous environment was the other major hurdle that needed to be addressed. Positive ROI was an added bonus.

“As far as benefits go, first and foremost, Gap Inc. Direct has realized tremendous cost savings. “The ROI (return on investment) of the Red Hat-Likewise solution is hundreds of thousands of dollars annually once you add the hardware and software savings to the reduced costs of manually auditing our systems. Likewise Enterprise’s compliance enhancements allowed us to expand our use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,” said Arcuri.

I’m sure there are many Red Hat Linux wins to be touted, just as Microsoft would happily tell you about their customer successes. What’s interesting here is that Red Hat is actively telling a story that includes a diverse environment and not pushing a myopic, single vendor view of the enterprise.
