If you wish to protest the DRM and closed source software, I'm all for it. 

BUT....

Please do so in a non-confrontational manner. 
Getting into people's faces with a rabid-dog mentality will do NOTHING for Linux or the Open Source movement.

Also remember that there will be people attending the conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center that are going there to see not only Vista, but also Office2007 and the new Exchange Server release. Maybe not because they want to, but because they have to deal with Windows at work and therefore have to know what is going on in the Microsoft world.

Be informative, not confrontational.

Just my $0.02
