open source

Katukbihari loves his web browser, he has been online for the last fifteen years and has used Netscape, Internet explorer by default and firebird (before it became Firefox) followed by firefox in different versions. Finally he had to leave firefox too as it had become vulnerable to adware. He shifted a year back to opera and has not left it ever since.
Opera is blazing fast, very secure- no pesky adwares as yet- and can be decorated with a lot of widgets as well as themes. What the heck he also plays chess on his opera. Opera also has a very rapid update cycle that makes it very very secure.
Katukbihari takes his commitment to open source very seriously. So he uses openoffice in place of Microsoft office and vlc media player in place of windows media player. But one thing katuk is not willing to change and that is his support for windows. He feels it is robust and very simple to use, extremely customizable, ubiquitous and there is nothing like it. Katuk also bill gates a lot and feels he is being victimized unnecessarily.
