I see this ad for Samsung notebooks in The Hindu everyday, and it
gives the configuration of the notebook and then says: Pay Rs. 4000
EXTRA and get Windows Vista. This is a good start, and I very much
hope more vendors follow suit. For many here, 4000 is a large amount
(more than 10% of the notebook price in most cases. Mine cost
32500.)and it might just tilt the playing field making it more level
than before.
P.S. I got a Samsung R 418 notebook a fortnight back with no OS and it
runs Fedora 11 as smooth as an apple.
