Except that Smirnoff is in the Alcoholic drinks business which is 'by definition' opposed to an AA meet's purpose. Where as Microsoft is in the software business, just like the FOSS fellows. Microsoft sponsoring the LA event is NOT the same as Smirnoff sponsoring an AA meet. I really don't understand what the big deal is. If the agenda was sabotaged by Microsoft by just being a partrner/sponsor then let's hear it in concrete terms *how*.
