- India adopting Linux in a big way: "The government of India has started taking precise, wide-reaching steps to usher in a Linux wave in India. And that cannot be good news for proprietary software vendors like Microsoft. Yesterday, the IT ministry had a meeting of around 70 people, from companies like HP, IBM, Sun and TCS, government agencies like BARC and CDAC, state governments like Kerala, West Bengal and MP to evolve a level playing field for Linux vis-a-vis proprietary software (read Microsoft). All the IITs too were represented at the meeting that went on for 4 hours. |
