Heck yeah... remember when the whole crisis of the MS
audit was happening and we had people who wanted to
prepare a well thought out argument to present to the
school board (or whatever).  Well, with a little fine
tuning I think we could take this letter and make it
into one of the best arguments to help convince
schools to use linux.  

Now that we have run out of arguments for just sitting
around and waiting for the right time, what is next. 
Not following up on this Microsoft audit thing is
going to be a huge mistake.
