Thats fair, I simply think that we would do well by being as broad-based
as possible. If we can put slogans and info on the fliers that indicate
support and encouragment of BSD and GNU software on Windows, then that
certainly gets the point across.

My concern is that if we DO start outreach to Windows users to introduce
them to OpenOffice and other (L)GPL'd software, we could very easily
double our current numbers just with people looking to move to OpenOffice
from MS Office, and from Photoshop to GIMP and do a lot to elevate the
usage of free software on campus, and by students -- while 'linux' may
be a buzz-word, it is still a somewhat scary one.
