India Cool to Microsoft Source Code Offer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday October 1, 2003 @01:24AM from the look-at-the-strings-on-that-thing dept.

indianseason writes "Economic Times, India reports on the failure of Microsoft to sign up the Indian government as part of the Government Security Program. The Print Edition carries a comment by an official: "... there was tremendous pressure on us to sign an MoU (memorandum of understanding) which would allow Microsoft access to all TDIL products (Technology Development for Indian Languages)." The government has gone ahead and put all the project initiatives in the public domain. TDIL recently released Indix : an engine for rendering Indian languages on linux."

Do Indians have hair on their balls? If they do, then that totally goes against the religion of Christianity.

On a side note, today is yesterday's tomorrow.
