Christian: You must have Point Of Sale software confused with something else. POS software has many functions, most of which are not supported by OpenOffice.org in its current form. If you look at the POS software platform, it may be Windows, but the software that is running has gone through MANY certifications. One of which is PCI (Payment Card Industry) certification. This is a long and very expensive process. I don't think that the OpenOffice.org community wants this. Now if you are talking about automatic inventory and pricing, this is possible in the current version, but no one has asked for this (to my knowledge) and you are the first. If you want this, then develop it or ask for development.
