Do you know your schedule for ITEC yet?

The inter-operblity sounds like a cool idea, but personally, I think 
there is a possibility that it could backfire on us.  We are the 'Kansas 
City Linus Users Group', not the 'Slow To Sub-light Speed So we can Show 
off Buggy Software Group'.  (STSSSBS)  I think that having a 'doze box 
in the booth could be misconstrued or just flat out misrepresented by 
those that fear Linux or by their lapdog media people.  

Just one headline like "KC Linux group demos XP to trade show", or 
"Linux group uses/needs Windows for trade show presentation", or even 
worse, "Linux group pirates Windows software for trade show" could 
really undermine what we are trying to do.  

If the group insists on making an interoperability demo between the 
OS's, please, please, PLEASE be sure that we have the proper CD's, books 
and licenses for ALL of the proprietary software on the 'doze box on 
site, just in case we get a visit from the copyright police.  Oh, and 
don't forget to check the EULA to make sure that you are ALLOWED to make 
an interoperability demo using 'doze software.
