Actually in my earlier mail i went off a bit.. Sorry if I hurt any feeble heart in the process...
Here is what I sincerely feel will keep M$ off for most things... everybody involved with Linux making whatever efforts they can to increase the number of Linux desktops. While actual developers of Linux keep their focus on servers. This is a bit tricky statement but hey, if wishes were horses, I could run ferrari with them... :-) As more and more people start using Linux for desktops they will realise what means by technology lock-in as they switch to equivalent Open Source applications and open formats... They key is having good apps even if that means for some of those applications we don't have direct ability to save in proprietary formats... People are already realising the value of open source applications and **operating** system. I already know of few examples of senior persons (key decision makers) thinking about eventually giving up on Windows and making migration to something like Linux :-) for their desktop... *Patience is the key (which i think, most of us may not have much)* -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
