Raju, What greater proof do one expect when Microsoft itself claims to have entered into *strategic* partnership/alliance with 14 state governments in India and with the Dept of IT, Govt of India - where the citizens who elected these state governments have been kept in the dark of such developments or told that Microsoft platforms were chosen when technical expert committees gave their recommendations, like the dubious IKM case in Kerala ?
Lets not reduce bribe to be a phenomenon where secret exchange of liquid currency or shares is involved. I think all of us are in a position to understand what is a bribe without having a formal definition.

I'd be careful about making public statements like that unless I were willing to back them up with provable facts.
