I do. I don't think the government should be requiring Windows; nor do I think they should be outputting any Excel or Word files at all. All ODF files or PDFs. We shouldn't be paying money for HMRC to use it to pay Microsoft for tools that encourage us all to buy more Microsoft products. That sort of thing seems much more basic than "should Apple be allowed to decide what store is on their phones?"

I think that's sensible but you also aren't required to use the basic PAYE tools - there's plenty of other cross-platform packages.

Agree with the sentiment, disagree that PDF is the way to go!

No they should not port it to Linux. They should rewrite it so that it is platform independent.
TBH, I don't think they should be spending resources on this port.
PS : hi Liam, we met at Fosdem a few weeks ago!
