Apparently India is concerned with nothing except .NET.
Sadly, that is very consistent with what I saw in class as a CS undergrad. Went to a second-tier state school in California, was one of the very few non-international students in the whole department.
The students from India, almost down to a man/woman, had absolute Microsoft tunnel vision. One actually wrote up a complaint letter and tacked it on the instructor's corkboard when a class required students to either install and run Linux, or use the on-campus UNIX labs (there was one with Linux systems and another with Solaris boxes) to be able to do the class assignments.
I'm providing server administration and some development work for a web startup. They've done phone interviews with a few development teams from India, and those teams have been unable to fathom why someone would do a web project with anything but ASP.NET and MSSQL.
I'm not very familiar with India or what MS does internationally. Is there some root cause behind these observations?
Or you may have simply shown that India does the same thing I do: types "java" into Google to find the quickest link to the JRE download.
Of course, the same could be said of .NET, though the fact that Windows Update pushes .NET Framework makes me think a lot fewer .NET searches are for downloads on client PCs.
And of course, searches for Ruby and Python can also be about jewels and snakes.
Gut feeling, though, is that Java search results are more skewed by this than some of the other ones.
