It discusses Linux usage by the Indian government to improve the lives of the rural poor (interesting look at how the IT boom in India is benefiting the poor). The article covers some of the difficulties in deploying Linux in non-English languages for government usage. Good read for those looking at Linux in e-Governance projects and a good follow up to a previous article by Tom Adelstein. In support of full disclosure: I wrote the article and the platform was developed by Delixus, my current company."

.. today said it would improve the quality of life in India.

This is the first time I've heard complete bullshit from anyhting Open Source. I guess it's true... Linux has come of age. It's become a marketing fantasy.
