It looks like MS have set November 30th as the release date for Vista.
(http://apcmag.com/node/4258)

There're two things we could do.  One would be a press release, along the
lines of "Vista is out, time to upgrade your OS, to GNU/Linux".  The could
be good because some journalists like to give an opposing point of view at
the end of partisan articles - so we'd be giving them something to write.

The more ambitious idea would be to declare it "GNU Upgrade Day".

And with the launch of gNewSense 1.0, we'd have a distro to recommend:

Yes? No?
