At this moment there has no signs of bribe, but as more experienced I<br>
can connect the dots. During the talk they offered to recommend<br>
customers seeking for FOSS solution to some of the people having already<br>
established a business in free software. My guess is that they will<br>
"help" opinion leaders to get jobs in mixed environments, where they can<br>
shine with their linux skills, but in the other hand they will be extra<br>
busy to keep up helping the community. This may also end up fragmenting<br>
the community.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your opinions, I have read all the emails. I still would<br>
rather not have dealing with Microsoft, but as this is a community I<br>
have to wait what the local people have to say.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
