Anupam, what is the overall equation? One avid linuxer against a gang of anti linux activist? There was one OSS pro person from M$ in LA. Still, junior executives distribute properitary software at CXO summit and demonstrate Vista and Office 2007. It appears paradox in saying and doing is the core of M$. It is difficult to believe that an organization boasting of corporate culture would be stupid enough, not to brief the executives properly!! Points raised by you in favour of M$ are perfectly valid. But one individual is easy to woo. M$ has baits for every fish in OSS ocean. Whether you avoid the bait or eat it is upto you. regards VK Engineers normally have problem with every solution. If not they have a solution in search of a problem. http://creative.linux-delhi.org Disclaimer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
