I would still like to see Aaron's presentation (or better still a series of them). Having said that, the reality for those of us working in IT, especially in Calgary, is that Linux is merely one component at best. There is some interesting work that allows Linux to integrate into an AD infrastructure, which helps me to push Linux into the companies I support. Also, having the ability to demo Linux or run a proof of concept inside of the MS virtual machine is also a bonus. In short I would be in support of this presentation as long as the focus was interoperability, and had some relevance to Linux. Just my thoughts. Given the charged nature of this decision, might this best be decided by a referendum? Just a thought.
