I plan to go, I have signed up, free food, and a chance to take my Debian
based laptop out for a spin :-) . Also, a chance to ask why (except for some
of their keyboards/mice) Microsoft makes such consistently crappy products
:-) .

Ok, so I will admit that my plans are not as gutsy as the guy who showed up
at a SCO event that I attended in late 2003 with a RedHat based laptop :-) .
Still, might I suggest that anyone with a non-Microsoft  based
laptop/palmtop (Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, PalmOS, etc.) who is going to be at
this Microsoft event bring their device and show it :-) ....
