Perhaps you should consider e-mailing the companies involved and finding out what they plane on supporting when the release is out for the GL.
Besides, how do people at these companies know what the demand for something is if nobody ever tells them. You honestly think big companies have time to look at every single posting site like slashdot for specific comments about their hardware/software? I think not;)
It just works better when you send THEM mail so they dont have to look for it hehe. l8r ------
Hmmmm, perhaps your should check out the actual Novel white pages that your repling to here on NDS compared to active directory (AD). AD is a serious joke. Please, read up on NDS alone for the next few months, then, please, feel free to call me or any of the other netware admins on for a debate. I would love to make you look bad. ------
Here are some of the reasons that I think India may have choosen Linux as opposed to Windoze.
1.) Open source - This allows India to ensure that there are NO backdoors to allow the United States or other countries to snoop into what they are using the machines for. It also allows for them to custom develop the OS into something that is more benificial to their needs.
2.) Free - Not that this is a big deal with something on such a scale. But, it may be a factor in major clustors as opposed to licensing something like Windoze NT.
3.) No licensing - I think this is the term I'm looking for. What I am trying to say here is that, India may import/export any system running this OS regardless of what anyone says since it has no owner per say.
4.) GLOBAL development force - Humans from around the WORLD are constantly working on this popular OS. No matter what day, what time, or what location, there are at any given moment, hundreds if not thouhsands of people working on improving and fixing Linux!!!
5.) Not owned by a US company - Dispite popular beliefs, the U.S. is not liked by everyone. By buying into a company like Microsloth, you in fact helping the economy of the country you may hate, which in turn helps them control your country further.
Well, I guess those are the main reasons that I can think of right now. Feel free to add other perhaps more technical reasons to the list (ie: process programming as opposed to threading....etc)

There is no Netware v3.5, are you real? Or are you just making this up. Fool.
