Can anyone here tell me incase i am having Windows XP system and accessing one Java Apllication from some server. In case i decide to change my OS to Linux. do my application need to be reconfigured..???
'Linux'-- a free operating system (OS) as opposed to Microsoft Windows or Vista -- is fast making inroads in the country.
Novell along with the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) is installing Suse Linux in around 40,000 desktops in the state.
yes the Free software movement started the winning journy to the Indian road. lots of lots of good applications are available for home / smb / proprietership business in Linux. and it is going to a be winning OS unless Microsoft is going to reduce the price of its os and softwaers. Not only Tamilnadu , kerala govt too removed all microsoft based software from its computes and installing Linux Long live LINUX

I have dual boot on my laptop Windows Vista and FC8. FC8 outperforms Vista. The only reason I still use Windows is because Itunes is still not there for Linux. I use the smart playlist feature on my ipod and hence using itunes to manage the ipod is essential.
The other reason I used to use windows was because of photoshop. But now Gimp does everything I need that photoshop does.

Really enjoyed reading this, as each trend was treated well individually, involving its application & views of all stakeholders involved. Will be great to see a story on top 10 entrpreneurship avenues for Indians in 2008 :)

Why doubt? the one and only one destructive force in 2008 for India will be Islamic Fundamentalism! Long live the great suedo secularisim and its baby terrorism.

yes. i do not see any major threat to india other than islam fundamentalism & terrorism
While the list captures most of the hot-tech trends, to me this misses out on a couple of ones, which should be the norm of the year. One of them if GreenIT and other Mobile Commerce. A good compilation, though.

It is not surprising to see linux making inroads. Since 2000 I have been regularly seeing Linux server outperforming servers running Microsoft. It is rare to see servers running any Microsoft products having an uptime > 2 months. The biggest benefit of using Linux and Open Source is not cost. It is getting a firm control on your products and the ability to quickly change your software to the demanding and changing environment. The other big advantage of Linux over Microsoft is far better security.
It is typical know to run things on the LAMP platform. LAMP stands for Linux Apache MySQL & PHP.
