Can you provide some specific examples and propose ways we could change
it to make it better?

Frankly, any negative reference to the BSA actions or it's member companies in
this context sets a flawed moral basis that is difficult to defend.
It would be better to issue a press release that suggests that many small businesses
and individuals (that don't need specific Win platform games or other software) can
use Linux, Star Office, and other PD/GPL tools. Offering to have NCLUG technologists
install a configuration that require no GURU maintence would go a long way to counter
MS camp claims against Linux. Maybe KRUD could be tweeked to have a non-admin varient,
including star office - and use that release as the basis of the PR thrust. Maybe
combined with Tummy.Com services for small businesses.
