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!
