Both Windows and Linux(Fedora,Ubuntu etc) are vulnerable to malware,I use Ubuntu 13.04 ,I run my laptop on a live-cd ,which is not possible using Windows 7/XP/8 without paying an additional amount.Moreover Windows 7 which i have used gets easily infected by malware probably because it is a favorite target of hackers.
No web-master's email ID has been mentioned on the Airtel.in website to contact the website administrator,The email-id can be affliated to gmail/yahoo/etc not necessary airtel.in .
The Airtel customer care are also non co-operative and very slow so i prefer to use this forum.
There are a number of spelling mistakes on the very same web page mentioned above,I suspect a malware attack or negligence of Airtel team responsible for saving the content of the website.
Large number of people use Windows 7 OS because they are not aware of Linux based OS such as Fedora and Ubuntu which cost nothing.If Airtel itself provides fully customized DVDs of Fedora/Ubuntu for different categories of students,I will be very grateful.
Please take the necessary action.
