I agree it is not microsoft's responsibility to give infrastructure, but I go a step ahead and say that this responsibility should not be even given to such dirty drug traffic agents who are spoiling the generation. think practically, it is like surrendering all your knowledge, and private information to some person whom you don't even know and nither you know their intentions (actually we all do know their intentions don't we?). as I said we can't teach immoral things to kids and microsoft products or any such proprietory brand persay is nothing but a pathway to knowledge prison.

I will give one example. mahendra and mahendra has adopted 25 schools for handicap and 40 usual schools in small towns. and I am very happy to inform the list that I being their adviser have got them convinced to *only * use free software and they have already started to implement it for the handicap schools in nagpur and mumbai and rurki. and they have already found it satisfactory. such things can be made to happen. the moral of the story is that it is not our responsibility to provide infrastructure, it is our responsibility to show the way to freedom and make people understand the truth. happy hacking.
