Yes the show was diluted all right. What really bugged me was that
Microsoft was even represented at all. I protested before the 2004 show
but to no avail. Seems while I volunteer my time and hard earned money
to the Linux cause the show promoter felt it necessary to include the
monopoly of the century as if some how they weren't getting enough
publicity as it is.
