Technological Myopia in Kerala

Govt. of Kerala took a very bad decision to take off Microsoft products from Schools. As far as I know more than 70% of the machines in Kerala (also the whole India) is running on Microsoft Windows. And 25% of the machines use Linux and that too for Server purpose only. Microsoft’s products are giving more support and user friendlyness and the very important thing is JOB MARKET!.


Politicts is that much bad now? I was a small student leader representing a political party 5-6 years back at my college. That time I thought these parties are standing for the helping of people. It is very horrible that a Govt. ordered such a bad decision in a Technologically Developing State. I heard this decision is because of political problems between previous Govt. and the Present Govt. How sad :(

Well, I have posted a related thing at t-mug forum - http://forum.t-mug.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1529.


If you think the decision taken by the Govt. is not helpful for the development of Kerala, please sign on the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/Kerala1/petition.html
