I think most people talking here are not actually reading the website. The idea is not to bash M$ but to inform people that they have a choice to in OS. I do agree that the timing is bad, but unless you get some publicity there is no other way to get the events out to Windows everyday users. Unless someone starts advertising, either through donations or from their own pocket, the only way that a choice is even going to be announced to most people is through word of mouth. Now that is good enough for a while but when you would like support to improve many of the standards in the computer industry. Now I think the idea behind the Linux support day is good but timing definitely needs to be looked at again.
