Greater collaboration between proprietary and open source systems, as exemplified by the interoperability between Windows and Suse Linux points to this growing synergy. The recent Open Source Week India event highlighted the benefits of open source to Indian businesses and also took a step forward in lowering the barriers against proprietary software.
