However, if the motive for people to leave M$ is DRM, then we have won
half of the battle.

I have been reading all this posts, but I think it is going to be very
ineffective if we are to hard-sell free and only free software. There
are two things people are fighting for at the moment, DRM and closed
software, they are 2 different things, and I think it is better to
focus on DRM at the moment, everyone hates DRM when they finds out
about it, but the same people may not hate closed software... we must
first enlighten people about DRM, then promote free software as a
secondary area.
