thanks all<br>
I do not want any Linux user to change to BOSS. Because they are
already doing the thing that I want. You people keep using the
distros you want but I need your support<br>
even if you criticize me.<br>
<br>
The problem is that there are several thousand state and central
government offices where MS Windows-Offiice is used as a typewriter
and government<br>
is (happily ) spending huge amounts of tax payers on purchasing
updating Windows/ Office and Microsoft is forcing update hardware
also for newer versions.<br>
You have to pressurize government to stop this with linux distros
but the argument will be weaker as they will defend that Windows is
superior and is required.<br>
(I consulted with a lawyer he says you cannot force government to
use linux by PIL even though your argument is perfect)<br>
But government itself has created BOSS to replace MS windows (as
per official document). Is it not that our voice will be stronger ?
<br>
I have tested BOSS as government work point of view and it is
suitable and works well on most of the devices (after all it is
derived from debian).<br>
<br>
Mandar, BOSS is not outdated BOSS.6.0 Anoop is already released,<br>

<br>
CDAC is not a small organization, they are still working on it. But
unless we test it on<br>
a spare computer and give feed back to CDAC how we can improve it ?<br>
But how will expert people (like you)test it if it is not publicized
by government ? Have you seen any political leader of any party who
has pronounced the word "Bharat Operating System"<br>
since 2006 ? Why they don't say test it and compare with Microsoft
only then use it ?<br>
<br>
I regret to say that nobody has commented on Syllabi of Schools and
Colleges and MS CIT you agree that the Microsoft word should remain
?<br>
In engg colleges they learn basic c++ programming where any Linux
distro can work but if BOSS works we can recommend it in various
courses.<br>
<br>
Is there any other easy way to rectify the syllabi kindly let me
know.<br>
<br>
I earnestly request you to download and read the following
Tamilnadu order completely before you reply :<br>

Indian that government policies are Pro-Microsoft and clearly
against our own country.
