Hai friends
My name is Shiyaz. Now I am working at Doha Qatar. Now here Microsoft people searching for pirated products. So it's very difficult To give new pc with windows xp and other software. Every pc manufactures must Install windows xp (windows products.) if they use Microsoft products. So many customers didn't agree with this policy.
I am not clear as to what you are trying to convey here, if you use Microsoft Windows XP you are bound by the End User's License Agreement (EULA) that they throw at you.
You have two clear options,
1) Sign the EULA and install non-pirated versions of whatever Microsoft products you wish to use.
2) Refuse to sign the EULA and like many proud free operating system users prefer a free operating system like GNU/Linux.
We have an internet café, Today Microsoft people came here and ask license for Microsoft windows for all PC (50) computers is there So today our IT section decided to switch red hat Linux. Our IT section is not powerful, and they don't know Linux. I have some idea in installation of Linux.
Choice of distro is yours, if you plan to use an enterprise edition of Red Hat GNU/Linux you will get updates for the OS for a fixed time frame. . There are many other distros out there a few of the major ones being Suse GNU/Linux, Mandrake GNU/Linux and community model operating systems like Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
Here all people call to foreign countries and India, Philippines, using software dialers Gcc2u, net2phone, globalvoiz, mypccall, netpccall, www.gcc2u.com,www.net2phone.com, www.globalvoiz.org, www.mypccall.com www.netpccall.com . I think in these dialers will not support Linux if we switch Linux customers can use only net browsing. And Linux will support yahoo messenger and msn messenger?. And these software. Dialers. At any cost we want this dialer and messenger.
I am not aware of any Free Software Dialers, please do a google search to find one if any exists, or wait till some one with experience of having used a Free Software dialer responds to your mail.
GNU/Linux does support yahoo messenger, you can get the Unix and GNU/Linux versions of yahoo messenger on the yahoo messenger download page.
You can use a multi-platform instant messaging client program like Gaim that supports yahoo messenger and MSN Messenger and a host of other instant messaging protocols like Jabber,ICQ and AOL.
