Hi All, Following is a list of mention of Microsoft/Windows/Turbo in the syllabus for various courses run by Pune university. We need to take this up this issue and mount pressure for changing the syllabus towards FLOSS. In some places they mention Windows/Linux both, but I think even that needs to be challenged as Linux s/w is free and gratis while they've to pay for MS.
