In addition a lot of companies are offering free software anyway.

It does get difficult to set ethical rules if its going to be on a case by case basis<br /><br /><b>Kavi,</b><br /><br />Yup! :-) <br /><br /><b>anil,</b><br /><br />Yes these things will see light when Bill Gates is up there :-P<br />Ethics? Yeah its a long forgotten vintage English word :-)<br /><br /><b>Nethra,</b><br /><br />Exactly! :)<br /><br /><b>Bik,</b><br /><br />Right, it doesnt. Its all on paper thats that. <br /><br /><b>Balan,</b><br /><br />It sure worked :)<br /><br />Regarding Windows v/s Linux you said it all Balan. I swear by UNIX. Anytime I would want to switch over to Unix even if it means typing in lines of commands than clicking as easy as in Windows. Unix has its GUI but I prefer command line. <br /><br />Now talking about the hardware manufacturers recommending Windows, its all part of marketing. You win; I let you win funda. Unix has much more to offer than Linux. But Microsoft won with just one parameter and they are thus ruling. The parameter is usability and appearance. Look at the Windows OS, its all click and move, pluggable and ease of use; though it has so many flaws. It appeals to a layman who just has to click to open a file than type "cat " <br /><br />MS had its way; every other vendor develops windows adaptable application; many are averse to Linux even though its open source. Sigh!! <br /><br /><b>G3,</b><br /><br />Yeah see its only on paper. Not all practice it. <br /><br /><b>Chowla sir,</b><br /><br />Yeah there is lot more than said. <br /><br /><b>chitra,</b><br /><br />Ayyo roamba blade pottutaeno?

We managed to woo the client, but later on the developers told our PM that they wont be able to deliver what was promised in the SRS and that it is the management's fault that they did not discuss with the development team before promising.<br /><br />Hence, I stand by your point: Sell a product by talking about its features and not about comparing it with other products and not by highlighting the flaws in the competitor's product.gayathri vishwanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883895855698328408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-15355239619422551312011-04-10T18:49:21.070+05:302011-04-10T18:49:21.070+05:30Well, my poser did the trick! :-)
As a layman who...Well, my poser did the trick! :-)<br /><br />As a layman who has been using computers for more than 15 years, I don't know much about it except for the applications that provide me with what I want. My poser was basically about OS - Microsoft Windows Vs Free Open source/Linux. I have a friend who is a computer engineer who runs his own company developing Linux based applications. I have friends who swear by Linux/Ubuntu. I have tried Ubuntu in my laptop and now in my netbook ( the latest addition to the family). I was irked by Bill Gates' indoctrination,bullying,unethical practices that border on illegal, cunning marketing techniques, blackmail, threats, virus-ridden wares, drain on system resources and an additional couple of thousands one has to pay for the SW. For eg., the Windows 7 Starter that 'So-and-so recommends Windows 7' mfrs provides with the netbook has severe limitations. <br /><br />The problem with Linux is that many downloadable programmes are Windows-based ( for eg., Wordweb, Picasaweb) though some have Linux- versions, it is exhausting to fix it proper and running, what with WINE and all that. And having conditioned over years with what Gates provided, it is tough on a layman to switch over to Linux, though the applications are simple and straightforward.<br /><br />I would like your professional opinion, B, on this issue.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-53438873158016291502011-04-10T14:41:27.978+05:302011-04-10T14:41:27.978+05:30Ethics dont exist..
