OT but one of my friends referred to this link. I found it amusing to since it was written by ex-Microsoft guy..... ....Former Microsoft employee Keith Curtis publishes new book "After the Software Wars" on lulu.com. The key to faster technological progress is making software free, he writes. The difference between free, and non-free or proprietary software, is similar to the divide between science and alchemy. Before science, there was alchemy, where people guarded their ideas because they wanted to corner the market on the mechanisms used to convert lead into gold. http://www.lulu.com/content/4964815 cheers Varadarajan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
