Simply GREAT !!!
Honestly, I included the Windows soln. only because you mentioned that
your friend did not have much experience in Linux, and it was meant to
be a temporary solution.

Am I glad that there are GNU/Linux fanatics around in my motherland ?
Yes, you bet !!!

Am in he process of planning a firm to offer Ubuntu Support in and
around Bangalore, know of anyone with similar ideas, who would like to
join me ?
Personally, am just back from Finland( the birthplace of the GNU/Linux
kernel) after 13 years, and am still working hard to settle back into
our society (democratic)and find my way around !  Frankly, have been
greatly influenced (forcibly) by Finnish Socialism (Finland is a
police state !), and all I can say is that it sucks !

Kindly excuse the metaphors but sometimes plain, simple language does
not suffice to explain the hardships fellow humanbeings are subjected
to.
