LinuxWorld articles [LWN.net]

Here are a few of the LinuxWorld inspired articles we have seen today.

It's a LinuxWorld, after all (News.com) "Linux advocates will convene at a trade show in New York this week to promote their wares, tout customers, swap business cards and make their case that the operating system is growing up."
Open-Source Crowd Hits New York For LinuxWorld (TechWeb) "When lovers of Linux take to the Javits Center next week in New York for LinuxWorld, scores of companies will be touting their newest hardware and software products, pitching them to crowds dissatisfied with Windows and enamored of open-source ideals."
MS bids to intercept Unix defectors at LinuxWorld (The Register) "Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft will deploy 15 staff at the New York-based event in an attempt to spread the Windows mantra. The company will demonstrate four products and its gotdotnet.com online service for developers."

Maybe im just a bit uninformed but what does Microsoft do at a linux expo? If they had products for linux it would make sense but they only have tools to help transitioning from linux/unix to Windows and nothing to help in the opposite direction. I think they should be kicked out frankly. Until they can show anything for linux dont let them be there. Surely there must be some sort of thought behind why they are let in but i havent heard any of it.

I suppose im biased after having seen Novell turning the other cheek and then go down in oblivion. Microsoft doesnt play nice with others so i think it would be best if linux doesnt play with Microsoft at all.
