I understand why you are cynical, but I've been part of the BOSS linux team couple of years ago and I would say it was money well spent.
To cite just one example - BOSS Linux was installed along side Windows (dual boot) in the free laptops given to students by the Tamil Nadu govt. This alone helped introduce thousands of students to linux.
