As correct as Rodney is, free lunch?  free beer?  free T-shirt?  Not from Micro$oft.  
It's paid for by the product they sell the average consumer.
That said, if I didn't have to work, I'd be there.

I'd like to point out that a "free M$ tshirt" equals free advertising for M$!

Let's not think of that as a gift, eh?

A free lunch, okay, and free beer, surely.  But advertising is a cost to us!
