Agreed!

Look folks, much as I dislike MS, suggesting illegal
acts is on every level stupid and insane.

I have doubts about the value/effectiveness of
peacefully picketing Microsoft events, but if someone
here wants to do that I will not try to stop them.
Same thing with doing things like sending letters to
MPs regarding Microsoft's behaviour, again fine with
me. If it is done within the letter of various
laws/regulations I have no real problem (other than
questioning the value) with people putting up
anti-Microsoft posters, etc.. There are a large number
of ways to express displeasure with Microsoft without
going outside the letter of the law...
