The idea is good. Some M$ users may switch also. But not everyone. Most of the users and most of the companies are happy to pay M$ for their guranteed product (they say). I think from Windows XP onwards M$ is recognizing the unauthorised copies when the machine goes on the net. I don't know why they are not doing anything legally. I don't know what was the conspiracy. :-) - Jos Collin On 17/05/2009, Althaf k Backer <[email protected]> wrote: > There is an old Malayalam proverb "Kadicha pambinae kodu thannae visham > ekdukuka" > Non mallus it mean to extract the venom from from the victim by the > snake which bit him, > > Most users,especially in India don't have authentic MS products and > very few % due to > lac of awareness,unknowingly buy them along with laps,so my point is we > have to > contact M$ to do anti piracy raid, among desktop / pc vendors , which > will force them > either to stop shipping M$ windows along with purchase and use free > software or to get a > proper license for M$ product. > > Only reason why M$ windows is used by users is bcus > they are born to windows world by purchase,even me 4years ago when i > brought my > pc i were a newbie i got used to M$ windows (btw not now,windows is > alean for me). > > kerala to be a FOSS state then > > [1] Schools but take away MS DOS,MS windows syllabus > from academics,14yrs ago when i were a kid,its made > sense because GNU/Linux or other kernels where not > mature enough,but now its not the case. > > [2] People must be made aware what thier freedom > are wrt software > > [3] Students must implicitly speak ls/man than > dir/help by the way they are taught.( i mean this should be the > impact) > > [5] There should be attractive,high profile games/ > students tools on Free platform. > > [6] Focus must be on young people than grown up. > > > Summery is we must focus on students than grown up people,main reason > is they are > the nxgen they will continue our legacy as it were done on M$ > windows.They > will implicitly demand free software,while use,and purchase. > > - > -- Collecting Data is the first step towards wisdom.
