what makes you think that the pro windows crowd will come only if M$ sponsors an linux event. we can "wow" the pro windows crowd even without having M$ as the main sponsor. what kind of perspective and opinions do u think a pro windows user who is viewing linux for the first time can provide on linux. maybe u might consider shipping solitaire and freecell withe all distros to make them feel t home. I dont think any community welcomes 100% participation. communities are made up of like minded people so the right of admission is usually reserved Regards Sriram _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
