exactly. but what to say. it is the matter of maintality of people. right now most of my big clients are running linux servers because I could easily convince them to do so. and a couple are now thinking of using linux desktops on their lap tops as well. but that is all to it. those people themselves say "servers are ok but our clearicle staff wont change. and although your data entry client can run on linux, our staff wont change". and these locle baniyas and retaill shops wont even care a dam for it. just a few minutes back one of the retaill customer called up and confirmed that he is not planning to shift to linux and will stull continue with the much stable windows which is tried and tested as his hardware guy told him. "how funny, windows is stable!". I don't think I will ever be able to convince people like this to use linux. this is where I said MR Bil ought to get some appreciation for the brain work although it is used forselfish and bad cause.. it is not a joke to make people believe that some system which is actually the most pathetic and bull shit is the most stable thing. and that computers can't run without it. we need to find out the best way to break this wrong notion. I find great eas to convince big corporates to use it at least on the server. they do except at that level. infact some knowledgeable directors also have it on their laptops. but windows seams to be one fits all needs. knowledgeable or not, directores or baniyas, big business houses or small shopps, every one uses windows. so will we be happy by just saying "ok linux is for only those who have knowledge?". means we should only target a few small fractions of the market? Krishnakant. but how good it is for m$? corporates or local stores windows will runn every where.
