Hi
I agree that ignoring it is not the right thing to do.
Also, best to pitch it in that the article was one sided and that we are
providing the otherside of the story. The media has an obligation to be
fair in the treatment of its topics - knows it and is a little sensitive
in that area (not sensitive to complaints though). Also a constructive
approach also works best - adding value to their readership.
Also, it is simple to get around his point of linux users always having
a 'pat' answer - don't mention Linux... I have a windows partition and
apart from a few games and the OS itself, is pretty much 100% open source.
Happy to draft something. Might need some review - any takers for review?
Regards

Maybe better NOT to knock him, but to offer them a pre-written article
on the advantages of Open Source software (including pictures etc)
which does not knock the opposition (MS) but simply states the obvious
- theres a free solution for most things, which are sometimes
inferior, often as good, and sometimes better than the paid
'alternative'. :-)
