Platinum Jubilee year

Lots going on around the Windows XP SP2 update, firstly that it was released for download at 3 a.m.. Then it was the automatic installation of the firewall and blocking of ports, one more issue regarding the inability to use tabs in the IE.
Today, came across some interesting stuff regarding the TCO of Windows and Linux, the studies showed that the total cost incurred in training staff in Linux comes to more than that used to install Windows, n their learning time is minimised in Win based Softwares. A simple example is the OpenOffice vs WindowsOffice. So even free Linux comes with a cost unseen. I think the debate continues....Win or Linux. ( usability vs flexibility)
Also found one more blogging site today typepad.com but its not for free..

And my alma mater has completed 75 years of imparting quality technical education..
So the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations begin...., the first of its type in Andhra Pradesh.
Proud to be an Osmanite....
