What *can* we do?  If Microsoft wants to annoy their users, they have
many years of experience.  So, I say, let it be.  You could proactively
provide these users with a Fedora liveCD.

We must rather see it as an opportunity for the Open Source enthusiasts
to capture another great segment of user towards our community. Lets
convince them of the benefits of FOSS. Distributing Fedora Live CDs
would be great. We can even strengthen our campaign through Local LUGs,
and probably organize discussions. That would help.

Tell us where you live and that will help locate the closest Fedora
Ambassador who could mail you a copy of the LiveCD.

Basically irrelevant.
