ITEC-potential FUD or facts worth sharing?

[Zscoundrel]

I have to agree.  Our ITEC exposer should be to promote Linux and open 
source solution, not trash talk 'doze products.

I someone feels strongly enough, they are always welcome to set up a 
BADvista booth.  I am in the process of changing jobs so I not planning 
to attend.  If I were going to attend, I would be wearing a BADvista 
shirt around the exhibit! 

However, I would NOT wear any BADvista stuff anytime that I might be 
working the Linux booth.
