Very true, but their readership is maximum and I was wondering if this group could contribute jointly and release a half page ad. in the TOI on the security, stability and robust benefits of OSS over pirated ones and atleast make the first move of getting people to know that there is an os called 'Linux'. That will put pressure on the reporters to probe more and write more on it. We could provide a list of alternate OSS like Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird etc.

I dont think we should ever use security, stability and robustness as the reasons to shift to GNU/Linux. I feel ppl should shift cos its Free software. The other things can be achieved by other OSs but they can never be truly free. We also need to educate ppl that open source and free software r NOT synonyms.
