Dear Anis,

Windows 8 is officially a
flop<https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/windows-8-a-certifiable-flop>.
Despite attempts to force people to use the operating system by
shipping restricted
boot<https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot>on
new Windows 8 tablets and phones (not to mention a record smashing
advertising
budget <https://www.fsf.org/windows8/windows-8-dont-buy-the-hype>), sales
have been sluggish. What we have here is our best opportunity yet to help
people give up Windows in favor of an operating system that respects our
freedoms to choose, share, change, and view the code we use to conduct our
digital lives.

We're proud of the infographic <https://fsf.org/windows8> we made last
year. Now, we want to build a counter-marketing campaign around it--imagine
this infographic on subway cars, in print publications, and maybe even on a
billboard. Unlike Microsoft, we don't have $1.8 billion to spend. But with
your help, we can build a grassroots marketing fund that will really get
noticed.

Can you donate $25 to help us take our campaign against Windows 8 to the
next level? <https://u.fsf.org/sg>

This PR campaign is just one component of our plan for 2014. We want to
improve our online resources <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page> for
helping people upgrade to GNU/Linux, and we want to take our show on the
road--helping to demonstrate GNU/Linux to new audiences at conferences,
universities, and other events around the world. To do this, we need to
invest in demonstration computers, USB drives, and travel.

If you'd like to see us providing on-the-ground access to GNU/Linux, please
consider making a donation of $25 <https://u.fsf.org/sg> or more today.

Windows 8 is an easy target in some ways <https://fsf.org/windows8>. And
yet, Microsoft's reach is so wide and its pockets so deep that we need all
the help we can get to take advantage of this moment. No one likes Windows
8, but whether they'll be willing to keep using it anyways depends on
whether Microsoft's customers know there's something better out there, and
whether we can give them the resources they need to upgrade from Windows 8.

Please consider donating today <https://u.fsf.org/sg>, or better yet, join
the FSF as a member <https://u.fsf.org/sf> if you haven't become a member
already. Any donation you make by January 31st will help us meet our annual
fundraising goal of $450,000 <https://www.fsf.org/appeal/2013>.

Sincerely,

All of us at the Free Software Foundation
