"Scott McNealy announced today at Comdex that [0]Sun
Microsystems has made a deal with China for a million desktop Linux
deployments under the new $50/seat licensing plan for Sun's desktop
software, which includes its Star Office 7.0 productivity program.
Whether this will translate into renewed profits for Sun remains to
be
seen, but according to McNealy, it represents 'the No. 1 Linux
desktop
play on the planet'."

one million pcs!! when will the indian govt wake up to this splendid
idea. that's RS 2,400 per seat including staroffice, versus about Rs
16,000 to Rs 20,000 per seat in M$.
that's US$50million = Rs 240 crores for the entire deal.
super wow.
