Linux promotion?

You're correct: there is no official Linux PR office. To date, Linux PR has come from folks like you, me, and Rob.

Hence my comments...

And I don't care if the Linux == anti-MS crowd does not reflect the views of all Linux enthusiasts. Those are the people that the press focuses on, those are the people who make the most noise, those are the people who are PERCEIVED as running the Linux show, Linus' comments aside. (And the fact that Mr. Corbet decided that the anti-MS line was the most important in the article disappoints me. I would have thought the point of the article was the success of Linux, not the fall of Microsoft.)

So, regardless of which self-appointed rep is speaking on behalf of Linux today, if the message continues to be "Use Linux because Microsoft Sucks" Linux will continue to be perceived more as a revolution and less as a viable OS.
