Can I run Bhuvan on Mac OS and Linux? No. At the moment Bhuvan can run only on windows system and is optimised for IE 6. ---- Because it is a sambar of .NET, directX, Internut explorer and Windows. What I'm crying is...... sitting in front of my machine running Linux and Mozilla Firefox, unable to see Bhuvan, WTF is system software requirements, are they saying that I'm a looser.. if there is no windows in my machine..? It is a shame to see the ISRO put up such a big thing ONLY for Microsoft customers. I'm definitely not proud of ISRO on this. The first thing to consider before puting something to the internet is; whether it is compatible with all common platforms and browsers which might be used across the world to access it. It is rude to say on the web that a particular browser or operating system is required to see your site. When it comes to a website of such massive attention (Bhuvan or anything ISRO) it is mandatory to hug this basic rule. ISRO... please shut the crap website down and save 1.1 billions Indians from this www shame. Also.. tie all those 'MicroShaft dotNuts' to a rocket and light up the tail :) Please read the rule number eight: http://www.sharpened.com/web/about/rules.html What is 'meter resolution' of satellite images http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery#Resolution_and_data
