I have to agree. Our ITEC exposer should be to promote Linux and open source solution, not trash talk 'doze products.
I someone feels strongly enough, they are always welcome to set up a BADvista booth. I am in the process of changing jobs so I not planning to attend. If I were going to attend, I would be wearing a BADvista shirt around the exhibit!
However, I would NOT wear any BADvista stuff anytime that I might be working the Linux booth.

There's a very good reason why the DeVry Exhibitor booth at ITEC isn't full of "l33t BADJCCC swag", and that is that DeVry would rather fill your head with good publicity about DeVry, rather than fill your head with the name "JCCC" and thus crowd out the name "DeVry."
As Microsoft has learned over the years, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Even software piracy helps them increase their market share, by making sure that people will choose Windows even when they can't afford retail Windows prices. These people then teach their children Windows rather than Linux, and when the kids grow up and get better jobs than their parents they buy retail Windows.
If we make the booth about how bad Vista is, we're just promoting Vista by making people leave our booth thinking about Vista, rather than thinking about Linux.
