hi all,

i chose 'C' (Better applications).

i'm a full time linux user n give a damn whether govt supports or public
likes it or not, but i strongly feel that FOSS world still needs quality
apps in the GUI part.. ya i know there are foss alternatives for almost
all proprietary apps but what about the quality?? 

jus for example, take OpenOffice.org. it works fine for normal text
processing, but when u try 2 do some serious things, say mail merge, it
really sucks.. another example is GIMP, u'll know it if u r seriously
into designing stuffs.. KU guys, i think u're goin 2 edit ur video on
Windows.. but also give linux/foss a try, u'll exactly know what i'm
tryin 2 say here..

i know u all will start flaming on me, but before doin that stop dual
booting n move full time 2 foss for a week, u'll know.. i'm a full time
linux/foss user n have even convinced my lab instructor 2 accept my
reports done in octave instead of matlab, but i seriously feel that we
need some QUALITY here.. the day foss will outperform proprietary apps,
ppl will start using it even if government bans it.. 

no that doesn't mean i'm not satisfied with foss, it's been one of the
joys of my life. but jus my +1..

regards,
jwalanta.
