The system is never perfect, and those who have been using M$ software

only on proprietary platforms. We need to keep constant vigil and take
up each case of policy violation with the government.

Rather than good things, I would say change of any sort takes time.
Somehow our lethargy is huge. Maybe this is the case with any society, I
don't know.
