<br>Choice ought to be considered with the 'seriosity' it deserves. Its like ODM vs PNU. If you dwell on the pros/cons of FOSS/Proprietary you will be left jogging on the same spot. To quote Mark Shuttleworth [Founder of Ubuntu], <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Windows is a very important platform, and our justifiable pride in
Linux and the GNU stack shouldn't blind us to the importance of
delivering software that is widely useful.".</span><br><br>The team at Canonical has come up with this innovation called Windows-native installer for Ubuntu into 8.04 LTS. What is
really classy about it is the way it uses the Windows Boot Manager
sensibly to offer you the Ubuntu option. If I was a Windows user who
was intrigued but nervous about Linux, this would be a really great way
to get a taste of it, at low risk. Being able to install and uninstall
a Linux OS as if it were a Windows application.<br><br>So, at JKUAT e-Government Academy, its no longer about whats cheaper/better, but when you attend IT courses [including security] there, you get to learn about the whole lot [Foss and Windows] in one course. What you then decide to use in your day to day life becomes your CHOICE!!<br>

I like the approach.<br>
