participants for your perusal.

VSNL, India's flagship internet bandwidth provider for ISPs is now a
sleeping-ally of Microsoft. Strategic alliances have been forged on many
fronts (the latest for messaging services, yesterday). Reliance, which
controls FLAG, has stakes in VSNL - its chief is the former chief of VSNL -
also is a strategic partner of Microsoft for testing/deploying of Microsoft
based internet services.
The major Indian internet bandwith gateways are now within the operational
command of Microsoft.
Whatever …
[View More]information now originates for an outside world, or is received
here from an outside world, is at the mercy of this corporate. What a smooth
takeover... with UPA in power at centre, supported by Left (mauled, only
when there is a dispute over which territory should have university).
We can continue our discussion on Free Software in markets, Free software in
schools, Free software in e-governance etc in peace, because the game, I
presume, is already over.

A specific question which many Linux solution providers keep asking me.
The question relates to the client side applications NOT the server.
When Linux business solution providers go to Govt. organisations they
are confronted with the bleak scenario of all the systems being under
M$. Since their solutions are "standalone" and built with Linux libraries
such as GTK, QT etc. they need invariably Linux OS. Since the
organisations are reluctant to change their existing M$ platform just to
…
[View More]accommodate their solutions (even though they liked it) they are loosing
that business. What I am asking is that under these circumstances is it
ethically and morally correct for them to create M$ binaries of their
solution using windows versions of GTK and QT libraries and install them
on the M$ platform, and there by getting the business order.
Already FSF is releasing all their libraries such as gcc, gtk etc for M$ too.
Please think as if you are a business man providing free software
solutions to make money to run a free software business.
