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!
