(In general as well people are usually better disposed to you if you seem to be in favour of something rather than against something.) Well put. Surely it should just be a matter of 'put out a better more appealing product with superior funcionality' and then advertising it. Rather than just MS-bashing. Yes a simplistic view and doesn't take account of potentially aggressive monopolistic actions, however aiming for a good product is better than aiming to bash MS.
I agree. Regardless of my own opinions of MS's software and business practices, I think we will make more progress by presenting arguments which are positive in nature, rather than negative. Also, I feel quite strongly that we should be promoting "free, open-source software" as the focus, rather than just "a way to avoid using MS products". Michael
