Geeks vs. Nerds: Google vs. Microsoft

08/11/2005 4:01 PM

In a contest billed as "Good vs. Evil" Google (The Geeks) beat Microsoft (The Nerds) in the Golden Penguin Bowl. To emphasize the tongue in cheek manner of the contest the Microsoft team came in costume, team leader Rob Curran as Darth Vader and the rest of his team decked out as stormtroopers!
In the end the Geek team triumphed and gets bragging rights for a year.

What exactly is there to brag about?

Can anybody really claim to have won a contest like this?

When it comes down to it a lot of software people love to be considered the alpha geek.
I'm surprised Microsoft would show up for a Linux conference though.
