This is one strategy to slowly move people towards Libre software. If they use the same even on the Windows platform, making the switch becomes easier as they will use the same software later in GNU/Linux.
I had posted a link for a GNU accounting software called TurboCash for Windows. http://www.turbocashuk.com/accounting-software-opensource.html It is designed for US, UK and Europe. It has provisions for VAT too. Since the source code is already available under GPL, why don't we make an Indian GPLed version that works on Windows and Linux. It can have an option of arbitration ( I hope I got the term right) for Tally users. Non-Tally users can de-select this option. This should be easier than building an accounting package from scratch. Importing data from Tally and the likes can be an added feature,
