The Silicon Valley Tea Party, also known as the 1998 Linux Revolt Take II, was a surprising event where Microsoft’s Developer Center in Silicon Valley faced an unexpected visit from Linux enthusiasts. Despite initial concerns and restrictions from Microsoft, the evening turned out to be a success. Attendees distributed Linux CDs, engaged in conversations with Microsoft employees, and even received free drinks from the company. While maintaining their stance against Microsoft’s practices, the Linux group appreciated the positive behavior and interactions during the event. The night ended on a positive note, with plans to continue spreading the word about Linux in the future.
