For most of our home computing needs, I’ve long since transitioned from a Window’s environment to FOSS alternatives. Edubuntu as our operating system with the standard list of applications. However, I still dual-boot our system to accommodate a few hold-outs running on Windows.

The most important hold-out is MS Money. I’ve been using MS Money since the end of 1999 and find the program provides all the functionality, reporting and ease of use to manage our funds. However, I’m getting tired of dual-booting the computer. So, I wanted to try transitioning to a FOSS Personal Finance program. I decided to try importing the MS Money data into Grisbi, KMyMoneyand GnuCash.
