I am from India, so was very excited (for .200 secs) reading this babble on TheInquirer . 'MICROSOFT IS GETTING SO DESPERATE to convert the Indian sub-continent to Windows it is prepared to share the Windows source code with a select band of government bodies. A story in the Economic Times of India says the software monopolist has proposed to the Indian ministry of information technology to share the Windows source code with one unspecified government body. A Microsoft spokesman in India contacted by the publication confirmed the company was "evaluating the idea" of sharing the code but wouldn't be drawn further.' For a very interesting read warp 2 The Inquirer.com also warp over 2 The Economic Times Of India.com.
