The problem I see is the politicians and in general most users are probably not aware of the issue. Also, MS FUD would come into play if any major plans to change were found out. I would hate to see a politician at some public meeting getting grilled over MS FUD.

Let's elaborate the idea, because a simple blog post is probably not enough. We should target magazines and websites covering e-government issues, because IT people might be reading these media. Unfortunately, politicians - who usually take the decisions - are not reading media but are prone to MS lobby efforts.Honestly, I'd go for actual ads in newspapers; we are not going to get our points across with a brochure. But I welcome input on this. best,
A brochure would probably never reach the important people nor would I expect to be read if it did reach them. I do not know if an ad would work unless it is extremely well placed.
My thought is to try to contact someone in high enough to provide the proper introduction to the politicians.
