Microsoft Rep To Keynote Unix Conference
An anonymous reader writes "According to ZDNET Microsoft is going to be keynoting the Australian Unix and Open Systems Users Group conference. From the article: '"Don't be put off by Chris' Microsoft badge -- he is actually a long time Unix hacker," the user group said today in a statement updating users on presentations at the conference ... Green, Microsoft's local Unix Interoperability and High Performance Computing specialist, will update the conference on his company's "Unix and open source-related activities, including their efforts to provide a POSIX environment in Windows, and to integrate Windows and Unix systems."'"
...a day late, and an iPod short.

Politeness only goes so far. This man has nothing to say that Linux, Unix, or Open Source advocates need to hear. Whatever this guy has to say can't be anything but snow. When despite repeated warnings, you let some smooth talking psychotic into your home, bring you milk and cookies, and tell you a bedtime story, who is to blame when you wake up with an arm around your neck and a sharp knife in your gut? When Microsoft comes knocking, do yourself a favor and tell them to hit the road.

Yeah well, when they are the keynote at a conference for their company, you can guarantee that his speech was written for him by the Microsoft marketing department.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
