Boy! You made that guy uncomfortable.
Lot of companies make noise, "We support Free Software", "We have a
complete team" blah blah blah.
But in truth nothing like that. Forget Infosys, I'll give Intel's
example. An Intel representative claimed in a seminar that they support
Free Software and do a lot of work before the launch of their product in
regard to support Linux. Asking her why Centrino support in the Linux
kernel wasn't done early before the launch of the product left her
flabbergasted and I got the infamous corporate reply, "We'll take it
offline!" :-)
