Its not new, M$ implying its monopolistic behaviours in the community and the internet world. M$ product, Windows being the most used OS in the world, Firefox leads the internet browser market, IE still support some specific codes. The monopolistic behaviour has also been reflected in our local IT community.

Technetnepal.net with the baseline IT Pro Community, has been serving hundreds of IT Pros in Nepal as a common platform to support and promote IT professionals in Nepal. However, reflecting its monopolistic behaviour, the activities in the community has been limited to certain platform, neglecting other alternatives.

Welcome to Technet Nepal!
We have always learnt that 'to share is to care' and 'in teaching do we learn'.
For the IT Professionals in Nepal, we are presenting a portal to ensure that there is a portal to learn as well as to teach, to share and collaborate; to educate as well as to be educated.
We use a triple-E approach:
Education and Awareness: This portal hopes to be able to increase the awareness level on the latest technologies and products from Microsoft!
Engineering: This portal also aims at being able to share source codes, troubleshooting tips, experiences and tricks and tips in helping IT Pros to be better able to implement the solutions.
Embrace: This portal hope to be able to assist our users to embrace Microsoft products and technologies.
I am sure you will join, blog and share your knowledge in the forum section of this portal.

Those were warm words of welcome from our honorable,

Mr. Allen Bailochan Tuladhar
Country Manager
Microsoft MDP Nepal

Only a dumbass cannot notice that the forum is just a promotional measure implemented by M$, so that IT pros don’t shift to other alternatives. Hell, the banner in the forum is a silverlight video which was previous a Windows only video rendering solution. And thanks to Novell for wasting their precious time, making me able to run silverlight video on my Linux machine.  Thank you novell.

Now looking back at the country person’s words, I found some terms(maybe the whole sentence) not that satisfying.

The baseline of the community suggests the name “IT Pro Community” and here is what I found:

Education and Awareness: This portal hopes to be able to increase the awareness level on the latest technologies and products from Microsoft!

Well Mr. Country Manager, are you trying to point out that M$ products are only the one aiding to technology? If I’m wrong please some representatives form the community, correct me. I would like to suggest them(the community leaders), please change the website baseline and make it something clear like ours. An IT Pro in Nepal like me don’t require M$ products or its technology professionally.

Engineering: This portal also aims at being able to share source codes, troubleshooting tips, experiences and tricks and tips in helping IT Pros to be better able to implement the solutions.

Hmmmmm.. I find the statement a bit confusing. Is the portal designed to share and gain experience? And what kind of freedom I get while sharing? Is it the author’s choice or what? And why should I help an IT Pro with his project if he is going to sell the project to my community for thousands of bucks? I’ll rather waste that time developing a new and useful software for the community. I will like to help an IT pro with his project if and only if the community is benifited by it.

And the last statement

Embrace: This portal hope to be able to assist our users to embrace Microsoft products and technologies.

Again, I don’t support the statement either.

The baseline should be changed(my view). Something like, M$ IT Pro Community.

^ These are my analytic views. Yours can be better. Please feel free to share.
