Trying to get the user hooked by providing a full doze setup is imo the worst method, simply because it will work only as reliably as Tally / whatever.
We *are* making a somewhat equivalent of Tally so that those users can make the switch.
I have had innumerable microserfs telling me that their machine started malfunctioning when they setup their machines for dual boot. Of course this is rubbish (unless there is insufficient freespace for doze - according to the dozeexperts xp requires huge amount of free disk space, 8 times the ram size).
Also when we say "server" we mean a host machine. For a 4 user setup the "server" (headless, no raid, ie a stock lowcost box) would cost 8k. If that is not affordable, i doubt you could do business with the customer.
Why would a customer spend 8K to test a software that is still under development?
