"Computers and autmation have become so ingrained and essentaial to
day-to-day 
business that a sensible business should not rely on a single vendor to
provide 
essential services........Thus is is always in a customers' interests to
demand 
that the software they deploy be based on non-proprietary platforms."

KULUA.org: Local Linux Community offers Free Software at Microsoft Event
Feb 9, 2000, 19:06 UTC (4 Talkbacks) 

[ Thanks to Jeffrey Watts[16] for this link. ] 

"On February 17th members of the Kansas Unix & Linux Users Association
(KULUA) will be giving away copies of the Linux operating system outside of
Bartle Hall in downtown Kansas City during the Microsoft Windows2000 launch
event. KULUA will be giving away free software and handouts starting at
5:00pm CST." 

"Linux is a free alternative to Windows that is rapidly gaining in
popularity. Linux distributor Red Hat estimates that there are some 8
millionLinux users worldwide. Research firm International Data Corporation
reports that the Linux server market has ballooned to some 750,000
installations." 

"While Microsoft is giving away free T-shirts in order to lure users into a
sales pitch for their $300+ "Windows 2000", the Linux community is giving
away actual copies of their operating system for free. Microsoft has sent
many press releases out in order to promote this commercial product, and it
is anticipated that many local news outlets will cover this marketing drive
as a community "event."
