Some facts may be true in the article and there is a lot to criticize. What the author misses to state that there is no other alternative. Wealth creation may start in pockets and then spread by re-investment.
Its almost impossible to imagine that one billion people start creating wealth simultaneously as there will never be so much financial capital, ideas and skills available to do that in an instant. It requires its natural pace.
To the author: Dude, someones making a start. You may think its a myth but lot of people have started believing in it.
Lets not get carried away by that article. The linux base in the US is much bigger than one in India. The big motivator is ofcourse the free (as in beer) factor. With tons of legacy software on MS, it will take a while for most indian companies to recongize the true value of switching to linux... Thankfully though resources about learning linux are quite freely available thru books - cheap asian editions - and the net for developers (like me).
