I read that article, it mearly exposes the hypocrisy of VS Achutanandan and CPM, wrt Free Software. He runs windows in his laptop and All CPM's web server runs on Windows, but talks about free software
Now that things stand exposed, we have to help them shift over completely to GNU/Linux. We have to educate them about GNU/Linux and say that Free software is not about Free Masala Dosas, tell them about the signal hiding underneath the clutter. Free the Citizens!
The Opposition should not be allowed to escape by saying that they were not advised properly on technological issues when they were in power. The present Antony Govt. has inherited what the Opposition had passed along. The Corporation of Cochin (ruled by the CPI (M)) here has gone in for massive computerization using Windows software, everybody is interested in the `purchase angle'.
If the use of Windows is something a politician can be criticized for, then it is a good thing that the newspapers are doing. I completely agree with what Raj has said here. We should instead write to the Editor of `Malayala Manorama' thanking him for this fine expose.
