Rick and Gnarlie, I see that (sponsoring) part in a quite similar way. I even said "Thank you" to the Microsoft booth personell on LinuxTag while passing their booth (they looked back at me slightly confused :). I guess that booth was really expensive for them and helped funding LinuxTag. :D The other part is having advertisements of the dark side in front of your nose all the time (sometimes even 3times by quoting). I dislike that. Yes, I also use Adblock Plus for Firefox. :) Cheers, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
