I think it's a good idea to be positive about the GNOME life, but I think it's best to be more direct about that. An ad that's all about how bad Windows is would not be as effective as an add that's all about how good GNOME is. People know that Windows is crappy and frustrating. If we can get the "just works" and "I can do cool stuff" and "My life is good" ideas across, I think people will make the comparison without us spelling it out for them. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
