There is the minor problem of the requirement to keep all financial records for six years. Granted, for many people it just won't ever be an issue, but for people like me who have a number of different income sources both corporate and personal, it's way too risky not to bother. (There are occasions when I *have* needed to go back over several years worth of data, too. Not often, but I've always been significantly better off having been able to do so.) *If* I assume that the QIF file is correct to start with, is it feasible to create something gnucash can import without throwing a load of errors, perhaps by writing some sort of script to do so? Otherwise I'll probably end up trying to get m$money working in wine and leave it at that.
