| The die was cast on October 2005, when Microsoft came out with a sting
| operation in Thiruvananthapuram on anti-piracy crackdown 'humiliating'
| a couple of PC sellers. "Dealers always prefer to do straight business
| and when it is FOSS systems, there are no ethical dilemmas," says State
| computer dealers association president, PK Harikrishnan. Right or wrong,
| it boils down to a question of seeing software as a market. Make some
| discreet queries, and you will find as much as 95% of multimedia PC
| buyers expect freebies of atleast two basic slices of Microsoft
| software, costing Rs 4200 to Rs 20,000 (Windows 98 to MS office XP).
