Hi all,
Its not weird for you to hear people chanting the Linux mantra increasingly if not predominantly nowadays... With the governments of countries like China, Brazil, and Germany already in the list of patrons of Linux and more and more market being swayed away by the open source computing, Its really going to be a tough ride for Microsoft in major developing markets like china and India. But do you think that Open Source can beat Microsoft... Its a popular belief that anything that is free cannot meet the quality of its paid counterpart ...Afterall beggars cannot be choosers, but consumers can be...isnt it. As Shiv Khera rightly said in his Living with Honour that "Popular beliefs need not be always right for the sake of its popularity and they will be challenged at times..." Lets wait and see whether penguins climbs up our desktops...
