Economic Times article on OpenOffice.org

Goodbye MS Office, hello OpenOffice - The Economic Times:

OpenOffice, a multiplatform and multilingual office suite, gives users the chance to be Microsoft free — at last!

The Indian media has articles about free software — at last!  Media has always had something with Microsoft, everything that Microsoft does, including realeasing a toilet paper would be great news.  Gate’s visit to India would be on the first page… and in most cases you will need a mignifying glass to find news about a visit by Richard Stallman!

A similar article (very similar article) also featured on the Rediff a couple of days back.

Would love to see the media explain the philosophy behind the Free Software and the risks they are getting into by using non-standards complaint softwares like MS-Office.  I know, this is too much to ask ;)
