Linux zealots wake the hell up you scream at everyone about how linux is so superior to windows and it is if your a linux guru. Why isnt everyone switching ? duh cause their lazy. The average user is never going to switch unless you give them something that will hold their hand and allow them to keep their security blanket (windows) at the same time. This gives them a chance to see some of linux and see its not that scary and they can be productive without any extra effort. If it requires any signifigant effort they won't even try it. And linux will be relegated to geeks third world countries and servers. Get off your high horse anything that gets these people to even look at linux is a plus in my book.
We have a chance here to show the labels that they are not the boss. But to do so would take an across the board boycott of all of the labels for 6 months. People could still by new cds they could decide that they are buying indie for 6 months. That is enough time to signifigantly hurt their bottom line, and they would be forced by shareholders to do something to remedy the money hemmorrhage. Question is can we all stick together for 6 months.
