Hi Sirtaj, Truly appreciate your point.
Yes, there are are quite a few events where Microsoft can promote its technology. But here (LA07) what we sought was 'engagement' and on a platform where Linux/OSS was on a strong footing. A booklet distributed by Microsoft at the CXOSummit presented how Microsoft was working with Open Source projects! I believe the same was running as a presentation on their booth too. Now how many events have witnessed that? :-) Plus, if you see the point of the 'customers' a wholistic event builds more trust than a one sided affair. Hope I make sense... Best Wishes!

Considering media coverage, seminars, conferences etc with strong Microsoft presence and sponsorship, don't you feel there are already dozens, if not hundreds of chances for people in India to hear Microsoft's side of the story? -Taj. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
