RE: MS Curriculum at schools and TAFEs ...

I like your attitude!!!!

This is my point exactly.  We will all sit here and 
damn Microsoft to Hell and do nothing about it.

I admire Microsoft.  And I think as long as they
understand the importance of marketing and publicity - 
call it 'dumbing down' or 'selling out' as much as
you wish - Microsoft will pervail and rightfull so.

If *nix users don't take a similar attitude - then
*nix will rightfully be a specialist market.

So what are we going to do about it?

What is AUUG doing about marketing?  What is LinuxSA
considering?
