Network administrators are not managers; they don't get to make spending
decisions. These campaigns are targeted at decision makers, who are by
and large non-technical, and therefore easy to sway with buzzwords and
propaganda. This is why it's so difficult for GNU/Linux advocates to
break though to such people; you can play the technical arguments over
and over, but to such people it's just noise. To them, the real music is
marketing gibberish like "People Ready". It's an uphill battle.
This is why I support people like Ken Starks (Helios of Tux500 and
Lobby4Linux), who tries to market GNU/Linux in a way that is palatable
to these decision makers, essentially bringing it into mainstream marketing.
