stefgOk, here's an idea I'm chewing on for quite a while: Canonical (or a whoever) could accept the coupons for Xin Vista, which come with all the shiny new boxes  under the Xmas tree, but for an Ubuntu DVD and , say, 3 months commercial support. (Best would be a boxed Ubuntu release with support agreement)09:39
stefgguerilla style09:40
stefgEven if not too many people would really accept that, the public announcement of it would be nice move :-)09:41
lotusleafcoupons for what?09:42
stefgThe coupons for Windows Vista. The retailers put upgrade coupons with their boxes, not to worry people because 'Vista comes next month'09:43
stefgSo the average box comes with XP installed and a coupon.... now turn that into a coupon for a ubuntu-migration :-)09:44
lotusleafwould the coupons be edible?09:45
stefghehe09:45
lotusleafsorry, it's that time of the year09:45
=== stefg thinks that lotusleaf sounds somewhat buddhist, and wonders what Xmas has to do with buddhists ...
lotusleafstefg: Xmas was just a way to Christianize a pagan holiday =)09:47
stefgc u in #ubuntu-offtopic, hehe09:47
lotusleafstefg: :)09:47
lotusleafstefg: you might want to try #ubuntuforums instead, religion is offtopic4offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)09:48
stefgi see... so /j #4209:49
Burgundaviastefg: most of the people who are receiving those coupons are end users, which are not Canonical's target market09:54
stefgBurgundavia: yeah, that's true, and from the business point of view that's plausible. But the idea had such a nice 'What would happen, if...' aspect on it that i couldn't resist to point itout :-)09:57
Burgundaviagiving a free box set is a good idea, howevber09:57
lotusleaflimited edition Ubuntu devteam collector cards!10:00
stefgand as i said... the effect is not that there are millions of people migrating because of the offer. The effect lies in the announcement, that you can choose to have ubuntu, instead of Vista .... know what I mean ?10:01
stefgPR effect10:02
stefgguerilla marketing ... blah, blah ...10:03
