"Is India serious about Linux in education, or just setting the stage to ask Microsoft founder Bill Gates for a handout when he visits in November? Economic Times, India's most influential business newspaper, has dropped hints of government plans to push a "countrywide drive" to promote GNU/Linux as the "platform of choice". But Indian enthusiasts of Free/Libre Software and open source are treating the promises with skepticism, if not downright suspicion."
