*HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA*

a text from above link

*Kerala government has been coaxed *(I dont know the meaning of "coaxed") *to
phase out MS Soft (Microsoft's exam software) from its school final exams.
Microsoft debate had been stalling *(may be due to the so called dirty
strikes by left organisations)  *IT exams of about five lakh students in
Kerala.*

*"Free Software will get more importance from next year," Kerala education
minister ET Mohammed Basheer assured the Left-run teacher organisations and
student outfits, succumbing to the week-long pressure. *

(Please tell me what is this LEFT RUN Organisation means)

*The protesters agreed to run the exams from the next week on MS Soft, only
after the minister said that in-house software developed by Kerala
government would be used in the coming years instead of Microsoft products.*

And also it refers the so called "Affinity" of CPI M leaders to MS when they
were in opposition benches....

I am a fool....I agree....please educate me with such links (that too of
some 3 to 4 yrs old), and kindly mislead me giving half truths and lies on
CPI M. I feel ashamed of CPI M taking a complete turn around from MS to free
software when they are on ruling benches, dispalying very well know
oppurtunistic policies...HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Thank You very much Mr. sandeep, so it was Congress initiative rather than
CPI M on free software.....hahha hhohohohhahahha

Regards

Jimmy
