Every second they take is a second a deserving person is prevented from pedding their goods, and you uncenter the entire conferences because where ever Microsoft goes, the media goes as well.
I'm not sure who you think you represent, but you can not be respesenting the Free Software community and be including Microsoft on this panel.
Your hurting everyone and I still have no evidence to show me that the reason for this is a strict matter of personal gain.
