<snip FUD spreading sessions>

To be fair some of these are interesting talks and even Microsoft can be
constructive when they send a Microsoft Research person.

BUT when these turn in to FUD spreading sessions then the important
thing is to react - I countered a Unisys recruitment evening in
Nottingham by tying the guy up in 45 minutes of questions related to the
ethicality of his company and software patents in front of those he
wanted to brainwash and recruit later - and reacted to another guest
Microsoftised lecture which was very one sided with deliberately
unpleasant questioning. Though I have been to lectures from the dark
side and found the style and content non-biased and interesting.

Take it as it comes and see what happens - it might simply be
interesting material on .NET.
