The President and Microsoft
I'm a huge admirer of President Kalam and it has always worried me that he didn't seem too friendly to proprietary software. I always thought that he's not getting the full story from our side of the fence. So it was a pleasant surprise to read his speech at the Microsoft Academic Summit.(http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in/scripts/eventslatest1.jsp?id=848)
I liked this quote especially
" Microsoft has done pioneering work in providing a cost effective operating system for the Personal computer segment, which is indeed user friendly "
We should make a huge poster out of this and put it up at all our conferences too :-)
