Windows ME Tour (fwd)

[kancer at kancer.978.org (Kris)]

On the contrary I woule love microsoft to visit my local Linux expo with
FREE operating system CDs. Or any advocate group to let me know there was
a choice. 
I don't think it is hypocritical, I think doing
this will let people know they have a choice other than win* and a FREE
one at that.
