The sufferer is the students I think the sufferer will comprise Students, Common man by paying more taxes ( in some way or other) , and more importantly the Linux.
Why linux will suffer? It is due to the Windows comfort the students get. Since they are comfortable with one OS then they reject Linux even it is a better system. How many of us still use word, ppt, even though we have openoffice which is equal/better than MS office. My opinion is, if students get's one OS, let's say Linux and they are forced( yes) to use and learn Linux and Linux oriented applications like openoffice etc. Majority over the period will be fan and followers of Linux and supported applications than Windows. MS did the same in the 90's This would be good for FOSS Community as more Students would come in. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
