Freedo & his space

I will be there

Microsoft will participate in the "Linux World 2007" event, this is the third time for Microsoft for joining this activities.
For the first time, Microsoft will have a "booth" (a seperated room for showcases/demo and experience our product), and I will be there.

I did a search in google for the keywords of "Linux World 北京", the first news is entitled with:
" 前来踢馆!微软参加Linux World北京站 "
I would think this is more like the game of media. I'm not in the right position to speak of the the activity and even the attitude of "Open Source" of Microsoft. (I attached the ticket of the event, so if you interested , you could come and see)

I want to say something from my personal perspective:

1. I'm an open source beneficiary, I have 4 computers, 2 of them (including 1 server) installed Redhat Center OS. I'm running web service based on the "LAMP", (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php), for these 4 products, they are very cool, especially for php, provides a lot of flexibilities.

2. This topic is very sensitive, because I'm going to talk about linux & windows, they are all based on my own experience:
"我曾经尝试过用linux作为桌面操作系统，但是最终放弃了，主要原因不是因为应用软件太少，而是它的桌面美化，至少当时我尝试了不同版本以及方法，但是相比较来说，字体的效果和windows相比较相差太大。但是作为网络服务器操作系统，我的应用非常满意，非常少当机"
I have encountered with some challenging questions during interivews, for the kind of questions:
What do you think about open source and Linux?
Candidates may think is fun to ask Microsoft people this kind of questions.

Ok, here is my answer, just personal:
I like open source, Linux is cool. Microsoft Sever & Linux they have different focus areas, they are both very cool.

3. What do I come to this even for?
To learn, to feel.

We are not the best on everywhere, here not only means on technical, also, I want to understand, on the working environment & process aspects, what are the differences? and where can we make improvements.

Keep heart open, learn what's happening out of there.
I hope could have the opportunity of you, talk to me, and I will be on behalf of MS China R&D team, on the staffing perspective.

Here more pictures to come:

the booth: 1

the booth: 2

Get it printed and see me! I will sign there : )

but microsoft can learn more from open source, be more open and let user know "what happened when click", :)
