One would have to realize that by going this route the wording would have to be crafted so as to not start a flaming war, specially on Second Life. For sure, this would even get to corporate worldwide as they have set ups on Second Life and the site has some big time readers. Also a high amount of window users use the site so a carefully worded article and demo about Free Software and Open Source might be a advantage to us. I definitely would not do a screaming through the streets but would point out the advantages of using free software and open source operating systems versus windows. One also would have to remember there is also low life on Second Life so if the organization goes this way be prepared for being barraged with all sorts of flaming and attacks even a possibility of dns attacks towards the our site. Second Life operated by Linden Labs is fairly monitored so this would be an asset to us against any perverse writings.
