Dear Sumon bhai, I hope you are taking our email responses as constructive conversation/debate raher than tounge lashing. Saying that I would like to point out that I think you have misunderstood Nasim bhai's point of switching app/platform due to software/system dependability
What Nasim bhai as pointed out that If you have thousands of content based on propritory format/app it won't work properly on foss apps. Even simple word document created in MS office won't retain its formating objects formulas properly in ooo or libraoffice. Converting one or two bijoy document is not a problem, but think of converring all those thousands article you have collected/prepared for last ten fifteen years. I dont have proprietory codec installed on my system. I have converted my 5gb+- song and video collection to open format like ogg and ogv. It took me around 2 months to finish converting. Now whenever I download something I convert it to open format. Now imagine a user who has collection of around 200gb proprietory contents. Will the user be interested to convert all his content to open source one? I highly doubt it. Thats why beside promoting openness we should promote usability functionality of open source apps. And if any interested users (not just tasters who want to taste how is linux) spend reasonable amount of time s/he will find the usability and functionalty. People have alreaey adopted many open source app unknowingly since they found value in using it. We must promote the value. Wanna help us how we can add/promote value please drop us a line -- Thanking you, Shahriar Tariq Volunteer, Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance <http://linux.org.bd> Team Contact, Ubuntu Bangladesh <https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-bd> Founding Member, Amigos Clothing <http://amigosclothing.com/> Personal Blog: আশাবাদীর দিনপঞ্জিকা <http://www.ashabadi.com/> (এখন পাতা শেষ) Endorsement: আমাদের প্রযুক্তি ফোরাম http://forum.amaderprojukti.com/ and মুক্ত.অর্গ http://mukto.org -- Ubuntu Bangladesh https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
