This is not that easy as it sounds :) This portal is independent and they do not let to write anything for them. What I did is to add them a laptop for test with openSUSE 11.4 on release day. They found it interesting and wrote an article about it and it was on the front page and reach lots of readers. Later they sent me some questions from the readers and I asked them. It topics were interesting: - which program can edit videos and create DVDs with cool menus? - how can i use my docx files on Linux? - how can i switch from photoshop? - what about security? (firewall and virus protection) Summarize this. The users are not focusing on the operating system, but they looking for application. The trap is as long as we bundled applications in the distributions they not only compare openSUSE to Windows7 but to Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Xilisoft DVD Creator, McAffee Security Systems and so on. Another interesting feedback was, that 1 click install is not that easy. They looking for an Android Market or App Store like solution (even if they have to pay for softwares - because they have to pay for Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop as well). what do you think about it? k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
