QWhat

is your tie-up with Dell all about? We have announced a new initiative in India in partnershi­p with Dell, where there will be U50 Dell retail stores promoting Ubuntu in a retail environmen­t. It’s a really important signal. It’s bringing open source and Linux out from the world of tech enthusiast­s and open source advocates into the mainstream. People in those stores will be trained on Ubuntu, so that they can pass that knowledge on to anybody who comes into the store and help make them an informed choice on whether they want Ubuntu or any other operating system. It’s similar to a programme we have done in China as well, and that programme has been running for about a year with very good results. So we are very excited to be able to do that in India. We see a lot of growth and potential in India. We will be meeting with partners, government users and folks like that.
