Currently in this campaign, we used many superficial lacks of Windows
Vista to demote it. Bashing and flaming without any proper goal would only
make us seems like fools. Although it is true like many vista users
complained, this campaign should focus on the ethics and ideal of free
software instead. The technical flaws of Windows Vista currently may not
be permanent, so it may become a turn-point of this 'war'. So when people
start using Vista when it is 'stabilised', we lost.
