Sir(s),
I feel the one thing that can happen by challenging through court is :
this tender gets delayed for atleast 6 months.
I think this will help the government - particularly the C.M. of TN,
since she can get more time on this Freebie, and can escape (not
necessarily 'escape' ) but can get a fair breather. Also they can cite
this as an example, and delay others too. The sufferer is the students
(and also to a certain extent - the tax payers, in the long run, if
the govt. chooses to go only with proprietary software).
It would be definetely better to do something like our Linexpert
Systems - Mr. Bhaskar - where we could educate more on this to the
actual users - who if they find this better, can always install Linux
later, and inform the govt, for the next lot to change the specs.
my two paise.
with warm regards
