All are in windows. and more over the Biometric scanners works only with Windows . There is no vendor independence here , Both Scanner supply and deduplication will be done by L-1 Security solutions (OT: which also have former CIA people on sitting on their board) I have seen some tweets about CIDR is using MySQL (from OSI India days presentation by a UIDAI guy) .
