BJP Leader LK Advani who is trying their best to win the upcoming elections has announced some really unexpected promises which may become true but are worth noticing with a promise of one crore free laptops<\/a> to students at a cost of 10,000 Crore along with Open Source Software. I guess this kind of news can give a big shot to Microsoft because the party is planning for Open Source Software which means that paid operating system and applications would be ignored and they cannot expect much business.<\/p>\n

\"LKThough experts feel this kind of move wont make a impact on Microsoft but it still does impact on everyone as the number of laptops to be distributed among the students would 1 crore which means that everything ranging from the Operating System to the 3rd Part applications would be Open Source and no payments can be seen in this deal once the laptops are bought.<\/p>\n

Seems like Linux Fans are increasing because of no costs and high developments with the capability of upgrading it easily. Lets see how much BJP stands on its big promises its making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
