I just said that electronics are being ignored by the Indian Govt. Look at the Tata Nano. The Govt is also going on hyping about it. Is it too essential ? Its just another methord of helping people "stay connected". Just like laptops.

Besides, what is Dell thinking giving away Ubuntu as it is with just a few extr drivers ? They should be giving a customised ubuntu that matches the colour of the laptop bought, and with a "dell menu" instead of a gnome menu(that has the logo in it), polished gnome bars, better looking icons, better themed firefox with extentions and a game or two like UT3(its XPS. XPS=Gaming).
