Guys, All the best.
I am sure you guys are pretty smart and capable by looking at the way you
handled this heated thread :)

Don't know why this thread was hijacked into a Hindi imposition argument! I
did not get any of those vibes from visiting the site...

From a suggestion view point, I have a request.
For the first time, I have to think about parental controls as my 8 year
old daughter has started to use the home computer regularly. I am really
worried about inadvertent exposure to unwanted content.  A 'built in', by
default 'on' parental control with opt in for adult content would be great
as a fundamental part of the desktop. Certainly a feature any Indian
talking any language would be appreciative of!

BTW on a lighter note, I do not understand Hindi and was a victim of
mindless Hindi imposition as a 3rd language (English and Tamil being the
1st and 2nd) in school. Believe it or not, I can read and write Hindi but
cannot understand or talk any of it!
