I see this ad for Samsung notebooks in The Hindu everyday, and it gives the configuration of the notebook and then says: Pay Rs. 4000 EXTRA and get Windows Vista. This is a good start, and I very much hope more vendors follow suit. For many here, 4000 is a large amount (more than 10% of the notebook price in most cases. Mine cost 32500.)and it might just tilt the playing field making it more level than before.
P.S. I got a Samsung R 418 notebook a fortnight back with no OS and it runs Fedora 11 as smooth as an apple. ---- Salvadesswaran Srinivasan SSN College of Engineering http://queasyquagmire.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
