Hmmm will it do if there is a big M$ logo on the gift box? Remember the XP sucks drink with a Linux Penguin some years ago? A lot of Windows users were amused by it and got it on their XP desktop. I think now we are just making Vista versions of it but with new ideas... it is kind of a Vista sucks more than XP thing. And I think people do know Linux is superior in a lot of aspect... but Linux just seem to be "for advanced users" and average joes out there proactively claims that they don't need 'advanced features'. I think if we were to promote Linux to the everyday home user, it must be simple and minimalist, easy to install... showing a video of installing Feisty on a Windows machines without destroying Windows would be useful. > Jacob > > > "About the box: perhaps a box that looks like a gift that has a > > beautiful ribbon, however the top of the ribbon has a shape of a > > padlock with a complicated key hole. > > > > This is essentially what MS want to do, they present Vista as this > > great addon that comes as a beautiful "gift" with a new computer, > > however it is a gift that you are not allowed to "open" it and not > > even have a look!!!" > > > > I like this idea. > > > > > > > > > > > > ************************************** See what's free at > > http://www.aol.com. > > _______________________________________________ > > Advocate mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://badvista.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/advocate > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Advocate mailing list > [email protected] > http://badvista.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/advocate > -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
