Hey all -
Just my two cents: I'd be pretty PO'd if we had a Linux product launch
and a bunch of MS advocates showed up passing out Win2K CD's and
evangelizing MS operating systems. Granted, that would never in a million
billion gazillion years actually happen, BUT - if it did, I'd be hacked
off.
I personally don't want to be a party crasher, and I'd rather not be
associated with those who are. Let's keep out of this kind of rude
behavior. We have to be better than them.
Flames silently directed to /dev/null.
