How could Nepalese government take these steps? It is really disgusting that people holding critical portfolio are advocating microsoft. Yeah! that is what i have seen. Without thinking of its future prospect, they are opting microsoft over linux just because microsoft is providing its softwares (including OS) free for educational purpose. I doubt this free term lasts long. Is it the huge money they get directly from the microsoft for this or are they the die hard fan of microsoft? Sorry to explicitly mention the name of microsoft but why our government is turning a blind eye upon the vast utilization of linux?
