So what's new? Microsoft have been doing this for years.

If there were vast funds that could be used to advertise the advantages of 
Linux, I'm sure the community could come up with more believable and useful

It seems to me that Microsoft's recent advertising of Vista, etc has been 
doing the job for us. :-)

You could, but personally, I wouldn't loose too much sleep over it.
