Why should MS parade its products on a conference named *Linux* Asia. Is 
it a conference like 'Computer Asia' or 'Technology Asia' or 'Software 
Asia' ? what products that MS exhibited there has relation to Linux. 
They are the first and biggest ones again Linux and what they are doing 
in a so called Linux Conf ?

What interest does MS have in sponsoring a event which is all about 
something they think as their foremost threat to their future existence ?

Why you want to compare so crap with Linux ? And why should such things 
be displayed in a place which should have been all about Linux or at 
least something related to or connecting with Linux.

But if this LUG boycotts a Linux event being
