@Kivuva, in as much as I would love to go into hypersleep in a space craft auto piloted by an open source implementation, I think our young generation needs to be exposes to ANY computing platform, whether windows, linux, unix, etc. This will help break the initial fear of computing, and lay the foundations and open up the future.
Of course, if I was asked, I would say that if the young generation was exposed to Linux, they would be
better skilled in future than if they were exposed to Windows, but that point is moot because...
If you consider our government as a young corporate, then the decision to go Microsoft will make logical,
-sense.
