The action was taken without informing the RCTA.It is to be to notice over here that RCTA has been working closely with Microsoft team to educate End Customers and Channels about Licensed Software. According to sources, there has been an understanding between RCTA and Microsoft legal team that before taking any action against any of their members, the company will take “RCTA “ in confidence to help resolve the issues. But this understanding was clearly violated yesterday’s arrest.In protest of this coward and repressive act of Microsoft, RCTA announced a bandh of 1 day on 21st May, 2013. The protest was carried out in all parts of Rajasthan. The movement against the dictums of Microsoft was fully supported by the businessmen of Rajasthan.
