This is still more or less true -- with GNOME being steadily absorbed
by the proponents of the Open Source Campaign and slowly, but
permanently diverting from its initial goals, GNUstep remains as a
backup variant.

I don't think that such an advertisement should ever mention Windows
or any other proprietary platform -- after all, support for these
systems is a bonus, but not an essential goal.  The purpose is to
replace all non-free software completely, not to enhance it. 

I suspect this "ad" is for the "Take Action" section, so how about
something like this:

,----
| Please contribute as user and developer to GNUstep[link], a free
| object-oriented framework for application development, and help it
| achieve the status of a complete and featured desktop environment.
`----

FYI, I have write access for www.gnu.org so I can help if needed, once
you agree on the wording and RMS acks it.
