Kerala logs Microsoft out

Recently there was a news that Kerala state government has decided to throw MS platforms out and adopt open source platforms. In my openion this is a very wrong move. It is true that schools have limited funding for software training but forcing the students to adopt a specific platform is not a good decision. A bit funny thought comes to my mind - the students will learn platforms that start with L and J during their school days. One fine day they will start earning and buy their own PC. That machine will have Windows 2025 installed and they will not know anything about it :-)

During learning stage one must know both the flavors. By forcing open source platforms on them the students will be restricted only to certain software products. It will also suppress their right to select what they like. By introducing both the flavors they will know pros and cons of each and that way they will learn more.
