will deviate the purpose. The reason why I cannot swallow everything that Charles wrote in Business India is because, the media is now manufacturing a new concent. As you saw the article talked about economics but not about business ethics, freedom and philosophy.

Nag, i will add my own opinion to this debate.....................
I do agree with your point of view regarding the total lack of focus on the ethical/philosophy part of the Free Software Movement and how it differs from the way M$ goes around doing its business.
But also.....time and again the media needs to kick up the dust and stir a hornets nest just to ensure that people don't stop buying their stories and increase their circulation.
Personall sir........i think charles has done a DECENT job of unbiased reporting. But probably from your perspective there exists a LOT of LACUNAE on reporting on the ethical/philosophy part.
The most important part though remains sir is.....we have him on our side......and can use the Media as a Placard to take our movement to the masses.
