President Of India Advocates OSS

cOdEgUru writes "I am sure this is a first. The President of India has urged Indian IT Professionals to develop and specialise in OSS rather than Windows. To be noted is that he made the speech (look for the "Think Different" section) at the famous Indian Institute of Information Technology (India's foremost academic institution equivalent to MIT). Also he reminisces that his meeting with Mr.Gates were difficult due to differing views concerning OSS and Security. What should be noted about him is that he is not a politician, but a scientist and an independent thinker foremost."

Where are the troll moderations or insiteful moderations on this?

Insightful: wrong
Informative: wrong
Interesting: Maybe if you have a very small mind
Funny: Sure, I get a chuckle out of it
Underrated/Overrated: not really
Offtopic: yes
Flamebait: yes
Troll: possibley

Now, lets review, are you saying that it is accurate to claim that:

This is embarrassing actually. We're not even sure Bush can read without some help sounding-out the big words...

Is Insightful? What insight does this lend to your life? You are obviously already slanted against the president. Has it let you think of him in a new way that will enrich your life? If you answer yes to that you are a very shallow person. Here's a website more up your alley.
