Guys one Point I liked mentioned above was
1. Demands decides what is avaialbe. - Truly speaking Pirated Windows is
what is in Demand
Well with Windoz Vista "security" for pirated softwares getting tougher by
the day gives us an opportunity, to spread Linux awareness as FREE and EASY
to use wit
LPG/Diesel came in discussion as govt defying Free market as a "policy".
While for creating demand was at the back of the mind when
I made the first post. .
I think best way to creat demand for Linux Desktop is
enforce law and eleminate pirated windows.

Cool I like it, so many point of views.
I might compile them with my Point of view:
1. Demands decides what is avaialbe. - Truly speaking Pirated Windows is what
is in Demand
2. Company sells hardware while drivers are "courtesy" - I cannot cope with it
I buy a car while stearing comes as a "
policy to promote something which is better for country. Subsidy on LPG,
Urea & Diesel are just few to mention is this free country. Same also
I'm no lawayer and don't claim to understand what is PIL, but how can we
compare LPG/Diesel etc with Linux support ?
I can understand PIL in terms of p
The company sells you the hardware.
The drivers come as a courtesy or a service as Aditya has been saying.
So, what do we petition against ?

Yes, a manufacturer can sell a car without a steering. If most people start
buying them, will you file a PIL ? If the manufacturer prints in bold on the
handouts with fancy logos a big banner saying "STEERING" not included, and
people still buy it, will the court let you file a PIL ?

a PIL against the company because it refuses to provide
Thanks Sridhar;
Your point well taken. On point no 1 I will be surly
looking for a verdict. Also my broad vision is that
Govt. should have policy where it discourages
new enterant with single O/S or software support.
