For example both in the NL and Germany, you are pretty much forced to use computers for your taxes. Until a few years ago, you had to use Windows software, ironically written in portable languages. Right now, you can do basic tax using web forms in both countries. The Dutch started to offer Linux and Mac tools several years ago and suggest phone apps now!? The German form wizard is still Windows-only, but is at least slightly tuned for Linux Wine. There also is a not-so-advertised pile of PDF. The NL also love digital payments for all everyday expenses, although studies show that this lets people lose proper view on their expenses. On the other hand, you in the US must be used to pay many things on credit, which has similar side effects. I have not researched other countries, but would be keen to hear about France, Belgium and similar western European countries :-) Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
