[Fsf-friends] TOI editorial plugs Linux

[Raju Mathur]

['Ware -- crossposting]

Today's TOI has a editorial piece on Microsoft that mentions Linux
quite favourably.

<excerpt>
[that] could open one more front in Microsoft's ongoing war against
Linux, a free, open-source operating system. Mr Gates has been
dismissive of Linux, but other commentators are not so sanguine. As
the Economist recently noted, "Linux has limited the progress of
Windows in the server market, as governments and big firms have found
it to be not only less costly but more flexible and more secure."

While Mr Gates was still in India, Madhya Pradesh chief minister
Digvijay Singh announced that all of MP government's schemes would use
Linux software. In Mr Singh's words, it was not a question of
Microsoft versus Linux but of choosing between free software and a
monopoly.

Glad to see that Linux is being touted for openness and not just price
by the mainstream press too.
