After reading news on site http://www.financialexpress.com/latest_full_story.php?content_id=138497
about Kerala logs Microsoft out
"My Thoughts"
First and foremost the state has implemented the rules in schools and at first glance I am happy to know that students will
learn and gain additional knowledge. This is cool!.
But if Kerala State make statements like "Ban
Microsoft" its very obvious everyone will say, "People should have a choice what they want to learn and not the state."
I would say the same since I like and appreciate Microsoft products and I don't
see any reason to make such statements except Kerala politics behind it.
M.A. Baby, the state education minister, said, according to the report.
“We have not banned Microsoft, but we are against monopolies in any
field and will vigorously encourage free software.”
But the question is does it impact software industry?? Perhaps NO. Software companies are not going to change from Microsoft
to Linux. They will continue using technology that has demand in market.
People in Kerala still have a choice to learn Microsoft; there are lots of training institutes.
Vinod Unny
on the other has a good point which sounds logical is that what ever we teach in school should be useful in real
World also. There is no point in teaching only Linux if in real world there is demand for Microsoft professionals.
I may not agree to his GPL argument fully, because i believe if GPL is so complex then companies won’t prefer Linux platform
and hence not to worry on GPL issue.
In my opinion students at early stage should learn windows and as he graduates further he should be trained on Linux too.
Later its up to him which career he wants to choose.
If this is implemented then on the contradictory
training institutes in Kerala will have good time providing training on
Windows and Linux. ; )
I would appreciate and invite my readers to present your opinion
on the same

Microsoft "Atlas" is now less than six months away. its getting shaped
and its planned to release around the end of the year on top of VS2005 and
ASP.NET 2.0.
Atlas now has an official name. What was formerly called “Atlas” will now have a few names:
1) The client-side “Atlas” javascript library is going to be called the Microsoft AJAX Library. This will work with any
browser.
2) The server-side “Atlas” functionality that nicely integrates with ASP.NET will be called the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions. As part of this change the tag prefix for the “Atlas” controls will change from <atlas:>to <asp:>. These controls will also be built-in to
next version of ASP.NET
3) The “Atlas” Control Toolkit today is a set of free, shared source controls and components that help you get the most value from the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions. Going forward, the name of the project will change to be the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
