[ubuntu-us-ma] Promoting Ubuntu: Battle Plans



One last thing I would add, that it is not even really microsoft, that is stoping FOSS on the business desktop.  Its the monopolistic third party developers, such a intuit, that are much worse than ms.  Which is why targeting businesses and government directly is very difficult.  The best chance we have are to educate consumers.

It's doable, oh I'm sure of that, it'll just need more pulling together
and more dedication from people who want to see it to the end. It's a
matter of working together on common goals and with common plans.

So to put the question shorter: Help us, join our battle.

Regards, Martin Owens
