I feel this is a very very sad thing happening. Sometime back I read the only
proprietary component used was for interfacing the devices since biometric
devices come only with Windows drivers. Now it appears the entire stack is
Windows-based.
Mr. Nilekani must be exposed and removed from this project. He has no vision
for India and Indians; he appears to be a mere pawn working for the interests
of MNCs looting India.
I found the database used by Aadhar was most probably SQL 2005; which is
absurd.
The lifetime of Aadhar project is very very large compared to the lifetime of
Microsoft products. Every 3 years versions of the OS, database, .Net Runtime
etc. keep changing. It is a continuous upgrade treadmill into which the Govt of
India project will be sucked into.
The biggest IT deployments (in my view) - or atleast some of the biggest IT
deployments - are the Indian Railways ticketing system; and the Life Insurance
Corporation system; both of which use Open Source.
ALL the biggest stock exchanges in the World use Linux based software, not
Windows. The London stock Exchange was using TradeElect by Microsoft and
Accenture; which they recently abandoned and went back to Linux after crashes
and performance hangs.
I request all members to suggest concrete methods by which this project can be
rescued and made into Open Source stack, instead of merely complaining on a
mailing list.
Please post your constructive actionable suggestions.
Thanks
