Hi tahir,

The product was launched @ the IBM developerWorks Live! event in Mumbai. Eventually I ended up using the product. The interface looked pretty good and convenient to us ( as told to me by a CA) but I had a lot of trouble installing it due to it's dependencies. It comes bundled with a custom Linux Distro though.

Still lots of scope for improvement. Also it's closed source and not GPL.

LINUX, the fastest growing Operating Systems for 3 years across the world is the choice of tomorrow - and that tomarrow has come. No wonder that IBM, DELL, HP/COMPAQ, SUN, HCL and others have announced LINUX based Computers and more are in the process of doing do.

KALCULATE fills-in a very important gap, that of an important application missing in the bunch of software that a normal user (be it home, office, traders, business, professionals, industry & others) requires. Users normally need an Operating system, Office Suite, Internet-software, Audio-video-graphics software, Games and Accounting package.
