According to a recent article by Dan Gillmor at

http://www.sjmercury.com/columnists/gillmor/docs/dg073198.htm

(See the bit at the bottom), Microsoft's PR agency assigns an "owner" to
every article it perceives as negative. This person is responsible for
contacting the author and doing MS evangelism.

Perhaps it's time to fight fire with fire, doing this for both Microsoft
AND Linux. Every time an article mentions Linux and not FreeBSD, or
mentions problems with NT, the author should be contacted with an
admonishment to try FreeBSD. On the other hand, authors who DO mention
FreeBSD should be encouraged to do more of it. The effort could be
organized through this list.

How about it?
