What I wanted to say was
WE HAVE TO GET CREATIVE IN MAKING LINUX VISIBLE
specially for mobiles and hi-end gadgets where the maximum profit is present. MONEY TALKS --rich customers drive the market. A vendor will change his tune once they realise that the richer customer prefers LINUX over other alternatives.
One of the things we can do besides writing to vendors directly is we can complain on consumercomplaints.in /mouthshut.com etc etc and other such websites where complaints stay for a long time and are visible for a long time. This could be the negative aspect of the campaign
The other way could be Awareness and visibility in mass contact programs at university/college/school/group/ corporates meetings. This could be the positive aspect of the campaign.
Most times majority of the people don't even know that something like linux exists and they can be rid of the virus like problems for ever.
