Hardly. They only contributed one speaker, for "Security in a Connected World". How ironic, being as Microsoft is most often the weakest link when it comes to security in today's connected world! (I can begin to imagine how their speaker'll get flamed on this. Their speaker at APRICOT on the same topic didn't fare so well..) Nevertheless, we like to think of it this way: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Cuts both ways methinks. -- dido Sans les mathematiques on ne penetre point au fond de la philosophie.
