Indian State Has Solution to End of Win XP Support

prospectacle writes about another possible shift from Win XP to Linux:

"With Microsoft ceasing to support Windows XP, the Tamil Nadu state government has advised its departments to switch to Bharat Operating System Solutions, also known as BOSS Linux.

BOSS Linux is developed by India's "National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software", which is financed by their Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. BOSS supports national languages including Bengali, Telugu, and Tamil.

Why would you develop your own entire operating system when you can just buy the newest version from Microsoft?"

    Using the arrows to scroll seems to do that. The context remains the pull-down selector, rather than the page, at least until you get to the bottom of the selector..

    Try clicking in the border before you use the arrow keys (or pageup/pagedown) to scroll (or just click "moderate" right away).
