hehe... as fun as this would be ... the high road is usually better ;) having a good Open Source contingent there would be a good idea though.Looks like they have a better idea to make people like windows better than Linux than I thought they would come up with!
i actually decided to register for this one since it is about Linux and i'd really rather be there to be able to do polite, informed and professional damage control if necessary. i would also really like to hear what they are telling people in their sales pitches. they tend to know (due to market research budgets) what people care about; and its always good to know on advance what you're going to hear from the local Microsofty next month ;)
Microsoft is seriously competing against Linux now and it's up to those who care to and have the knowledge necessary to ensure that they do not succeed in misrepresenting Open Source.
and i guarantee you they will try.

Now I need to start making questions to ask at the event or on his Microsoft blog

I want to be very sure I don't fall into believing something that ain't true, chances are I might. I feel clug should have a big discussion (in person or on the mailing list) on this after so we can all "Get the facts" about the events happening's.
