Open Source can Help India Save 10,000 crore, says IIM-B Study

,----[ Quote ]
| Even as the current economic climate has compelled the 
| Indian government to go on the austerity drive, by asking 
| its ministers to air travel by economy class â a more 
| compelling option may lie in looking at replacing 
| proprietary software with open source. A recent report 
| titled, 'Economic Impact of Free and Open Source software â 
| A Study in India', by a team at IIM-Bangalore, highlights 
| several interesting insights, that show how by replacing 
| just 50 percent of proprietary software with open source in 
| desktops and servers, India can save close to Rs 10,000 
| crore in 2010.
