[lug] Question on allowable posts to BLUG

[Jeff Schroeder]

Those of us who read Slashdot (everyone?) probably noticed an article 
about exactly this thing (long link, sorry):

http://www.newsforge.com/
os/03/12/21/1546240.shtml?tid=11&tid=2&tid=82&tid=94

The article begins with "Microsoft has started distributing two online 
surveys to Linux User Groups and Linux users in general, one asking 
primarily about home computer use, the other about business use..."

Interestingly enough, the article quotes the e-mail message sent: "I am 
a program manager at Microsoft doing some research around how we can 
improve our operating systems..."  Sounds eerily familiar, eh? :)

The outcome of this "survey" should be interesting, as we've seen quite 
a range of responses to Chris' request about what to do.  I can only 
imagine what sorts of things people will write to Microsoft directly.
