[SWLUG] Microsoft Vs. Linux Celtic Manor July 7th - anybody going?

[Peter Joseph]

Oh come on! Don't tell me I'm going to be the only person flying the 
flag! :( wouldn't a SWLUG presence be useful at something like this?

We know licencing generally sucks, especially M$ style! But it's there 
M$ seminars that perpetuate microsoft dogma to big company reps! It's 
big company reps who influence big companies! Big companies affect 
things, for example the Palladium chip system that M$ are trying to push 
to  manufacturers like AMD and Intel. Do you want to only be physically 
able to run M$ 'digitally signed' programs on your future machine? This 
is the kind of crap they are trying to pass off...

If supporters of free software, free beer , free lunches or whatever 
don't turn up to voice their opininons then it's the equivilent of not 
voting!

Some come and lets upset the M$ applecart!

Pete
