i remember someone telling that all this is for the birds .. WB Gov is hooked on to windows very strongly
dunno how to view the scenario .. groping .. but i guess linux will emerge a winner .. not only because linux guys want it to be so .. but mainly because M$ doesn't need a competitor ! it kills and competes its own brands with its own brands .. win9x killed win3x, win2k killed win9x, winMe killed win2k, winXp killed win2k, and now we hear of a dot Net thingy .. should kill winXp are m$ guys nuts ? linux will emerge a survivor .. in such a violently volatile environment for OS'es, and NetOS'es, linux delivers, and will continue to deliver another adv that linux has is the excellence in programming parameter .. THAT is the main parameter for getting one's code accepted by the higly intelligent worlwide programming community just NO OTHER OS has sooo many worldwide excellent programmers working together on one common thing .. m$ just has no chance ! ..pk ----- Original Message ----- From: Sayamindu Dasgupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 9:28 AM Subject: [ilug-cal] [Fwd: [LIG] LINK: No Windows in West Bengal schools?] > -----Forwarded Message----- > > From: Frederick Noronha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Richard Stallman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [LIG] LINK: No Windows in West Bengal schools? > Date: 14 Nov 2002 02:19:52 +0530 > > URL : http://www.zdnetindia.com/news/national/stories/nsl,70367.html > > No Windows in West Bengal schools? > Indranil Chakraborty, Kolkata, > November 13, 2002 > > The West Bengal government is considering using open-source operating > systems (OS) like Linux as an alternative to Microsoft Corp's Windows > OS in its school computer literacy programme, and has approached > hardware maker International Business Machines (IBM) to provide the > system support. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: Are you worried about > your web server security?
