I find it disgraceful and unacceptable that mS, who are always intent on destroying their competition are attending LinuxWorld, such an prominent and influencial Linux event.  I think the organisers should deny their requests, but they obviously like the smell of mS's dirty money (they got it illegally), on behalf of the interests of the Linux community and the development of Linux.  We should really stand up against this insult and threat (mS will kill us, if they get any chance), though its probably too late for that.  Even looking at TheReg's article, the title is, "MS bids to intercept Unix defectors at LinuxWorld", they are just trying to promote their own products, in which case they have no place at this Linux-specific expo.  Plus there's the matter of, what mS describe as (described as - last year) "initiating dialogue with the Linux community".

Right, let's explain my theory.  The Linux community is the one thing that has ensured its success, and will allow further success in the future.  So, what do mS do?  Destroying - or more specifically, corrupting - the development of Linux would be seriously hindered.  

Another attempt at the corruption of the Linux community (void man, you know what I'm talking about here  ;) ) - and in turn Linux is - influencing the sites they visit.  Take for example, Linux.com - in fact all of the so-called "OSDN" (owned by the hypocritcal VA Software), plastered all over their sites are mS ads - "trial offer, no risk at all"(except for microsoft lock-in and boycott of all competing products) visual basic, "better for microsoft's today - worse for Linux's tommorrow - get microsoft behind your business" - you've seen these, haven't you?  I've also seen some of their articles with support for mS (or their opinions), like the Advisory Alerts (making it look like the open source method of development is ineffective - about 50 alerts on each of their weekly "reports" (many of which aren't security-related at all)).

I kind of see it as mS trying to get Linux to embrace and extend itself, if you can understand that.

Bottom line:  mS attending LinuxWorld: It's not acceptable.

preacher:
lol, I think that we have absolutely nothing to fear from Microsoft attending the LinuxWorld Expo. Linux will keep growing no matter what they try to do. Besides, the money they paid for their booth will certainly help. I heard last year linux people did play some pranks on them that were rather funny.

Kintaro:
"Microsoft can suxk my dick yo!"
