OK . . .This is it MS finally agreed “Linux Is Great“..Just READ THIS
But look at this,they say “We haven’t talked to a single user who’s said they’re using [open source] because it’s better.” .Let me explain with respect to INDIA. In India 70% of people using Windows, just because it came preinstalled (offcourse games,favarite applications…etc etc) and believe it are not they think it is FREE(`;’).No one is paying any licenses or something like that.And the thing is, most of people (including ME) are spending money on LINUX CD’s, not on WINDOWS CD’s. So in effect, roughly we can say Windows is FREE here .Now why people starting to use LINUX when THIS is the scenario.There is a CATCH. They have their own REASONS. Further open source apps doesn’t have to be BETTER..they just have to be as good as for the people to start using them. ….
Anyway thanX for MS’s compliments…
