Yes. I understand. Though I love linux, trying to learn better and hoping to be good enough to get a job in linux administration, am still a Windows server administrator. I wish soon I would be able to switch to linux. Coming to the point, what I meant is that M$ is not only creating business for themselves but also for others... I read a research article that said its been found that the size, memory and the required processing power to run Windows is too high when compared to the features delivered by it, also called as bloatware, which only means the hardware vendors always have a market to sell whatever they manufacture. This, they say is an understanding between M$ and Intel. If it is true..that is a bad motive.
yes that's indeed a bad motive and end result is even I am a customer and I don't want to get into this trap. being a business man myself, I think from the customer's point of view. I will like to earn money and name like tata's not like some one who cheets people and earns out of that. any ways open and free software is much much better then non-freesoftware. I just got a recent example of a drawing software called inkscape and when I compared it with the features of coral draw, I find coral draw could only come close even with its latest version. there are many such examples and I think people should rather pay such projects and get the money's worth. regards.
