The meetings are just once a month, and there are so many interesting 
and important things to know about Linux.   Why should we waste our 
time, listening to advertising materials of poorly designed alternative 
OS? Also, doesn't mikro$oft get enougn feedback from users, suffering 
from endless BSODs, viruses, security holes? Its developers have no 
shame, if they are going to tell about things like "application security"!
