Sounds like Mr. Robertson has decided that this event should be a quasi-Lindows press conference. I think however at the rate things are going that it very well may backfire on him. This is not good for the linux community as a whole and Lindows subversive tactics should be isolated. Let him try to run a Desktop convention as the only vender outside of the ancillary companies that maybe involved. I think that large and more reputable companies like SuSE and Sun would profit better by obstaining from the convention. I have the feeling that Lindows is trying to ride the coattails of the major vendors in order to gain credibility. It sound more like a dog and pony show, wherein Mr. Robertsons is trying to promote his corporate visions for Linux on Lindows. If he's not careful he may very well alienate any consituents he's trying to gain. And this could very well rub off negatively for those that get involved. Just MHO. Curtis.

I think SuSE SHOULD pull out, as well as SUN. This type of corp. manipulation has NO place in the Linux community.
