Actually this is subjective. You need to understand that this campaign is
started by fsf and so the default people you are going to encounter here
will be more of serious free-software than typical open-source(TM) ones.

Talking about 'same causes', it depends. If the goal is simply "Destroy
Windows Vista", it is kind of straight forward and its easier to get
comrades. But if it is "Destroy Vista and its equivalents while upholding
free software", automatically we know we will lose people. The former one
will give us more people, but whats the use when they dun understand the
ultimate ideal of free software? It would just make us another group of
jealous people on Microsoft(R) success.

The latter may attract lesser people at the start, but if we can put the
message across properly, I believe we can not only get supporters, but
supporters that knows what they are supporting.

I understand your concern. We all thought of that before. We are trying to
teach you hoping that you'll understand, not alienating you =)
