The news I have brought into the list was not intended on the VS issue. I am not interested in people such VS and President. I am mostly concerned with the common people who will get a wrong indication about Linux and Free Software. In this case the only thing we can do is urge the president to use GNU/Linux(I think there is no need of training for such people) regards Manilal

Since we're on the topic of hypocrisy (VS and Windows on his laptop), it might interest people to know that Abdul Kalam, India's president, so famous for apparently having ticked off Bill G. and advocating free software for countries like India, uses non-free software, incl. MS PowerPoint. See http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in/S/html/speeches/ others/ict.pps. and http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in/S/html/speeches/ others/FICCI.pps.
His site (www.presidentofindia.nic.in) designed and hosted by NIC, uses a lot of non-free s/w, incl. Macromedia Flash.
So much for dreaming and igniting passions.
