Correct. And what better way to do it than on M$ money. Leverage it fully and charge hefty premiums. Keep a foss speaker after every M$ speaker. Plaster the venue with GNU/Linux postives. Ensure that lug delhi has a nice stall adjacent to M$ so that the crowd moves to you AFTER visiting M$. > > >> Conversely, is there any way a Linux company can participate > > >> in an Microsoft promoting event and talk about the virtues of > > >> Linux? Unlikely. All the more reason to use the opportunity. What the hell are u afraid of anyway?. All u need is visibility and M$ might unwittingly help in getting you that. M$ is mean, crooked and a marketing machine and you have to (and u can) beat them at marketing. That would leave them with only meaness and crookednes. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
