WHAT A DAY.....

Prakruti - the nature club of XIMB got a formal inaugration
Prakruti is a club, of which i was one of the ten founder members.....
it all started as an Organizational behavior project....
today WWF and Prakruti are working together and we are open to
more such collaborations....
As of now the club is handled by Rural Management students, with us also
participating in its activities.......(actually trying to now)
Hope the club LIVES ON........
Sometimes its great to let ur wild side out....... ;)

Secondly, for any Microsoft basher like me....wat can be the best thing.....
to read an article where Microsoft is termed as big old man being targetted
by various youngsters around it on various fronts......
well its like Microsoft has two flagship products which are mainstay of its business....
Microsoft Office and Windows OS.....
Both have just received minor updates and cosmetic changes and
released as new versions.......none are too gud or i must say amazing as what one
may expect from a organization like Microsoft....
Their softwares today are like patched clothes which may come apart any time....
and this can be seen from various virus attacks and crashes which one experiences
with MS products......
Today they are on defensive (for the first time - I AM HAPPY)....claiming that their OS
overall cheaper than Linux and stuff like this......
Their browser doesnt fare better than Opera/Netscape/Mozilla.........mind that Mozilla is
not even at version 1.0, its in testing phase and outperforms IE like anything......
To avoid big customers from shifting to open source MS has been cutting rates of its
products on case to case basis......
People are slowly shifting towards the Open Source generation of products......which
unexpectedly are much stable and in many cases much better......
Overall MS is facing attack on various fronts from companies like IBM, Opensource,
Google, Sun Microsystems, and many other similar firms which are churning out better
products at cheaper costs and moreover people are shifting towards them now........

Fingers crossed........hoping for the big old man to come down finally......
Also.....their products launch dates are being postponed...they are not sure whether they
should launch them or not.....they have postponed launch of new Windows till 2006 as of now.......

While this all happens I am enjoying this......using Windows 98 (since insti asks us to be on
Windows machine) and using Mozilla (the best browser i have ever used), listening to songs
over Winamp (not Windows Media Player)........

P.S.: will try to put up the snap of the inaugration soon......
wait till next post
Apurv did u get ur update finally yet again n dis time rapid updates ;)
