I read the comments on OS in Welsh schools and certainly agree with backing up/advising/supporting those efforts at local level - but it seems to me that the issue of "binding-in-to-Microsoft" is so well embedded and all the way down from No 10 (and you can't get much lower than that!) that it might be politically useful (pragmatically, not necessarily philosophically!) to get the Greens on board sufficiently to make contesting it an election issue - a national one.
I have, though, spent many years scrapping in the "community" world and am extremely wary of the do-goody, chinese-water-torture technique. Someone's got to get a bit cross. Angry even? Geographically-concentrated groups (LondonLUG?) might be able/want to mount a "boycott microsoft" campaign at particular sites/shops - in Tottenham Court Road, inter alia.
