Again I somehow feel that we have this image of Microsoft that we love to believe in. Shouldn't we react to Microsoft-the-company's-actions instead of Microsoft-the-company-period? Targetting Microsoft perhaps gives us a big target to fight, but only when fighting *for the cause* is not good enough. For me the cause is bigger than Microsoft and it's trying to muscle in on Linux events is only a sign of good things. I would not lose sleep over it. I was not in Delhi during that time and could not attend but I plan to do it the next time unless someone gives me a good reason to do so otherwise. If something negative happened in LA this time do let us know. It would be a very sad thing to see no participation from ILUGD for reasons *unknown*.
