I think you have an excellent point. I notice though, that although 
the more technical Windows user I meet does now, often, actually know 
of the existence of Ubuntu, it is still most unlikely that the general 
users of Windows will even have heard about it. I would really welcome 
a slightly higher profile of (UK) marketing and publicity, aimed at 
informing that an alternative 'exists'. The idea of 'Roadshows' has 
come to mind..... not something to be done single handed though?
