The frist thing we need to do is to convince them to offer a "boxed" product
like the Linux people do. It has become a staple of software these days. Just
having disks or Disks in the back of the book makes still look like Linux did
6 years ago and even then I seem to remember boxed sets of Linux being around.
Microsucks doesn't win by having a better OS, just by telling everyone it does
and by making it Appear to be cool.
We still "look like" the underdog, so that is were we may stay in the press
until that changes.
