What bothers me most is that people ACTUALLY expect these kinds of meetings to be fair and balanced. In all reality, what is Microsoft going to do in a meeting THEY'RE SPONSORING? They're not going to advocate the main loss of their bottom line, that's for damned sure. At least they're trying to maintain the facade of being impartial, but I'd still pay to see them come out and say "we want our customers to use our product instead of OSS because it cuts into out profit margin." Let's be honest here.
On a lighter note:
quote:
Laugh of the day went to Philip Hands who stood up from the floor and said that Debian had a better patch distribution system than Microsoft 'would ever have'. The compere jibed back 'Oh, so you are are a futurologist as well?' To which Philip replied 'Yes, I switched to Linux ten years ago'. Cue hilarity from the floor and time to troop out to a cracking free lunch.
Gotta Hands it to those Debian folks. ;)

It's really hilarious how Microsoft tries to deny facts which are obviously true such as the obnoxious ad floating around on the net stating tha twindows server 2003 is cheaper to run than linux.
