Hum,,,,, I know this is not the place for a political discussion but are we talking of the same party which is in government in states like bengal and kerela where government projects are being done only on microsoft technologies, and is insisting on buying only microsoft servers ?f

They may like to think FOSS is like communist, but in the end they buy microsoft software as it gives them kickbacks. So dont go hoping for miracles there.
