MythTV would handle the TV stuff, wouldn't it?
no, very few TV cards are supported with Myth TV .... nothing ATI for one.
As for proprietary business software, we don't see a lot of that around
here anymore. Most people are using specialized spreadsheets and that's
about it.
I think you are refereeing to simple mom and pop POS retail. But any kind
of franchise chains, professional offices, such as any kind of medical, or
legal that have to deal with insurance or legal requirements, or any kind
of volume business that is tied to material suppliers, are going to be
using proprietary software.
One interesting thing... I was in the administration office of my local
Costco yesterday, and I noticed they were using IE5.5. I am not surprised
they are using IE, but 5.5 was a surprise.
