Hi Everyone,

Data Quest is apparently doing a survey on Linux Desktop usage. I know because they called me to ask me some questions on their questionaire.

The sad thing is that the guys doing the survey have absolutely no idea of what they are doing and apparantly not even connected with InfoTech. First they had a very unclear way of introducing the matter, asif worried that they will be asked something they cant answer. I told them that yes, I use Linux Desktop software. He asked me again whether I use Linux on Desktop. I clarified to him that we have stopped using desktop computers and everyone in our firm now uses Laptop computers but we use Linux in the laptops.

The big joke is that he said "Oh, so you do not use Linux in Desktops.....Ok, thank you" and put down the line. They guy obviously does not know the difference between desktop computers and desktop software and that Linux Desktop software can also be loaded on laptops too.

If anyone knows some of the senior managers in Data Quest, please convey this to them. I am quiet sure that at this rate, they will show a very low user numbers.

Regards Saswata
