This morning I discovered from a reliable source that we will not be invited back because Microsoft offered BU a Gold Partnership agreement and marketing money to never "do this again".
closer to home, I remember reading an article in TOI in which Pres. Kalam, speaking at IIIT Hyd, encouraged them to use Linux etc. Within a day or two M$ had made a few million dollar "donation" to IIIT
Good part is, despite of accepting MS millions, the advice of linux stays..:-)
From what I recall, President Kalam gave quite a mouthful to Bill Gates when he visited india last times, abot free software and it's relevance in India. Apparently Microsoft was on backfoot by such a stance..
