If that is the case, as long as they continue to do this, that is what I would care about. I understand their position, 99.9% of businesses that are pro-linux are not anti-microsoft but just want for ms not to bury them(sun,...etc) contrary to what the linux community wanted out of the antitrust cases. Freshmeat, Slashdot and other media have had ms banner IIRC. So, this is not a big deal to me. What is a big deal to me is the DMCA, Patriot Act and DRM. -Kev
