Hi All,

I can't believe the piece of crap literature I just got from my good friends at Microsoft   :D  

They're inviting *me* (at no cost) to their "Microsoft Technology Open Door Forum."  I would get breakfast and lunch and am entered in some sort of a raffle thing.  The topics are really great... things like "Business Productivity in the Digital Age," "Enterprise Project Management," ".NET Systems Strategy," "Reducing Costs through a Lean Infrastructure," and etc., ad nauseum.  I almost have half a mind to borrow my buddy's Red Hat laptop and show up   :D  

I just hope that this color brochure they sent me cost them plenty.  Hell, they even mailed it 1st class!  What a bunch of idiots.  And this wasn't directed to "occupant" or "administrator" or whatever, it has my correct name and title on it.

I bet the IT director here gave them my name as a joke... I keep telling him that I need a Linux box in my office and he's a pure Windroid.  Actually, he's a decent guy in all other respects, but a Windroid none the less.

Sorry for the stupid post, but I thought it was pretty funny.

Jim

Refalm:
I'd go and piss off all those moronic Microsoft ass-kissers  

xyle_one:
yeah, put together a brochure about the pros of using linux over windows (since there are no cons of course) and about how dotnet threatens the web by proprietarising it. it would be fun...  :D

KernelPanic:
They probably bought your name and address and occupation from some other unscrupulous company.

pkd_lives:
Turn up and ask loads of questions, about things Linux can do but they can't. And you should turn up in a red fedora, with a Penguin on you in higly visible areas (like your T-shirt). Ask them why their TCO is lower only in reports sponsored by them.

Ask them how to completely keep a user out of the system files and still allow the comp to function properly, why there are never reports of Linux getting Virii when Windows gets clouted on a regular basis, etc..
