Why is AICTE thinking that a company like Microsoft will give out server space for millions of students for free? Are they not aware of Microsoft's track record of feeding people with drugs until they become dependent on it? They did that with Windows, and now are trying to do that with online documents.
Is it not good enough that the same students who are handed out these "drugs" are the ones who have no clue about bash scripting or how to edit a .bashrc or how to create a new Rails project? (They don't know what Rails is either. They do know what ASP is though. ASP!) Or that all the "engineers" from AICTE colleges are worth doing is being a part of the army the US outsources small projects to?

You mean the same model that other companies on the Internet apply, namely Google, Amazon and even Apple? The Razor and Blade sales technique that has been touted for decades? >They don't know what Rails is either. They do know what ASP is though. ASP! I would assume most know what PHP is than what ASP is (ASP has no connection to the office suite, is not part of the curriculum). However, PHP is again frowned up by the elites despite being open. Similarly, most know what Google is but a few know what DuckDuckGo or Bing is. Does this make Google evil? Heck NO!
