I use this on my 64-bit system - in particular, the enhanced zoom is very 
useful for me (I probably mentioned it before) because I set my monitor 
so far away from me at my desk.

The thing that I like about it is that everything is a texture - it's an 
interesting way of looking at a standard display, because you can do 
things like enhanced zoom or the rotating cube with very little CPU 
overhead, so it seems.

There was a review in the January 2009 issue of Linux Format (yeah, I 
know, it's not January 2009 yet - I don't publish the magazine <g>) of 
different financial applications and GNUcash was very highly rated, but 
the winner was an inexpensive commercial package for Linux called 
Moneydance.
