My Ubuntu experience part 3 :

The experience of using legal stuffs from the OS to the apps was alone satisfying for me to completely transfer to linux.After I got used to it and the features it provided,usage of the OS had become indispensable to me.But still then i had been going to XP occasionally to play some games.

The bad parts about Ubuntu that i found was :

1) Lack of OpenGL based games and onyl for windows.

2) Audio driver (realtek) was not properly implemented i think.Was not able to use headphones and dint have audio configurations.

The best parts are that 

1) Both the OS and the apps are completely FREE

2) Great user interface transitions and easy usability.(I still hate to learn those command line interface though i know it has some advantages too)

Recruited but unemployed

As of today,a lot of young Engineers and IT graduates have been recruited by the IT firms but have not been offered to join the respective company yet.

The students claim that in addition to making them wait for several months,the firms have not even communicated to them about the delay and expected joining date.

Call it global recession or cost cutting measure or just lack of resources to provide training and lack of projects.By all means it is a bad practice by the industry.

As a result some students have opted for higher education and preparation for competitive exams like CAT,while a few others are looking for part time job offers like BPO.But a majority of them are just sitting idle waiting indefinitely for call letters to arrive from the repective company.

This has lead to bad company image,employee turnover and wastage of resources.

Only a few companys like iFlex,HP and Hexaware have called their recruited candidates.Other firms and IT majors like Infy,TCS,CTS,etc are yet to inform the joining dates which are expected to be delayed even upto next year.
