[ILUG-BOM] Re: Pitching Linux to corporates?

[krishnakant Mane]

I will just like to make 3 points here about the discussion and the m$ fan club.
firstly again I am repeating for the 3rd time, I don't know about
others but I am not against any organisation nor do I have personal
grudge against any one.
secondly, let the notion be cleared about gnu/linux itself.  it is not
just a time pass "fun " operating system as some gentelman like to
say.
it may as well go on ur grand mothers pc and on the most sensetive
server as well.
it is not a bunch of hackares doing fun with you.  it is very serious
professional powerful and free (as in speech) operating system.  and
canonical, redhat, IBM all are not bunch of hackers I suppose.  if not
then dare to state openly on this thread that yahoo, google, nasa, LIC
all use toys to runn their business.  and yes, BARC TIFR all just use
a time pass operating system written for fun.  and all big enterprises
including Indofil chemical company pvt ltd, supreme plastic etc.using
non m$ technologies all do time pass.
thirdly, although my answers sounded typically standard for dinesh, it
is yet a reality.  as devdas rightly said.  m$ also has a tipicle way
of cheeting "we now don't support window 9X." and "please upgrade your
system because we are thinking of removing the support".  is it not
real?  think about open office, you can even open an ms word 95
document with that.
