Tonight LIVE: www.thelinuxshow.com
At 6pm pst, 7pm rmt, 8pm cst, 9pm east and 1am GMT

“Kevin, Arne, Jeff, PJ and Doc Searls (of the Linux Journal)
have a very controversial show tonight on The Linux Show!!

We tried to do this topic last week and for some strange reason
we could not get the phone network working. Hmmmmm?

Is Microsoft Perpetuating a FRAUD? Or is this just business as
usual for all large businesses? You be the judge.

In Segment One we will take up all the major Linux community
news items of the week; like the update on the VA IPO, the rumors
about Corel and of course the latest on the launch of GeekCast.Com
our new affiliate network.

In Segment Two we will be discussing Microsoft and the
controversial writings of Bill Parish. Bill feels that Microsoft is
guilty of financial fraud, and has created the worlds largest
“pyramid scheme”.

A number of people feel he is right on the money, others think
he is just complaining about practices of all large businesses, and
still others think he is a PR happy nut. We are interested in what
he has to say. You listen and be the judge for yourself.

In Segment Three we will open the issue up to anyone in the
Linux Community who want to contribute information about this
controversial issue. Join us at 40 minutes after the hour by
calling 888-591-tech and giving your opinion about Bill Parish
and/or Microsoft.

Tonight at 6pm pst, 7pm rmt, 8pm cst, 9pm east and 1am GMT.
catch the Linux show at http://www.thelinuxshow.com.”
