IT personnel in India who are responsible for deployment of enterprise solutions are discovering the advantages of Linux; although much press is given to the free as in "costless" aspect of the software, many are also discovering that much money can be saved on the hardware side as well. Also to be noted is that local companies are routinely announcing Linux compatibility of their products, as in this article from HinduOnNet (English).

While the article notes some "outright rejection" among IT professionals, it also provides many success stories, some of which are mature implementations from many years back. The concluding quote sums up what we're increasingly seeing from all over the world:

“I, not only see India, but the whole world adopting Linux in the months and years to come. Linux has an irresistible appeal for any IT manager.”
