It is so welcome to see people with this attitude.  IMHO, we really do need
to send money into FOSS business networks, and not the Microsoft business
network.

The best way to make sure that Microsoft is not getting any revenue is to
support local FOSS vendors.  I can think of three right off the bat:  Yochai

of TechnologyRescue.com.
