Another thing,Microsoft in a shocking statement has declared that in it's latest operating system i.e. Windows Vista,it will not allow any softwares from outside which means no Nero,no Adobe,no Firefox,no Winamp and perhaps no Yahoo! Messenger either.Now this I think is a very brave decision because it can either ruin Microsoft or gain it a huge lot.If you want these softwares to work on Windows Vista,you have to pay an additional 100$ which doesn't sound like something I'd do.So maybe that could help Linux overtake Windows in another 2-3 years.But the weird part of it is,Microsoft seems so very confident about Vista.Wonder what's on their mind.

We use them for free in India anyway! "There are so many distributors, so many versions, some free some paid, I think unless it channelizes itself into a single source, its going to be tough" Yes I agree, you might be knowing about the huge fiasco betn. SCO and IBM..its for the opensource coding. SCO claims IBM stole its coding. Nah, nobody is gonna throw away the licensed softwares; besides, why do we need to throw them?

There are so many distributors, so many versions, some free some paid, I think unless it channelizes itself into a single source, its going to be tough Opensource are good to certain extent but in my opinion they cannot throw away the licensed softwares.
