Ironically that's the attitude of the ppl: Hey if my app can run on more than 90% of the PC's why the heck shud I give a damn 4 Linux ?
I mean when I look around and observe the apps:
The Encyclopedias, MTNL Cdrom, Various Educational CDs VSNL dialer :( Various Cd-roms that come with magazines. GRE CDs
The list goes on and on.. Everything has Min sys req of Win9x.
In a way ,I guess, the CS ppl hav a valid point.
I can only imagine what it must be like for Arts/Commerce/ ppl to understand what is Linux
much easier, since they haven't been exposed to bad habits yet.
