MCNEALY'S WAR AGAINST GATES - from Edupage Telling Java supporters to "flood his mailbox" by sending Microsoft leader Bill Gates messages saying "that you want 100% pure Java," Sun chief executive Scott McNealy complained: "Microsoft is no longer a distributor of Java platforms. People are puzzled, they have the impression there are two versions of Java. This isn't true, there is only one: pure Java=85 If you put three drops of poison into a 100% pure Java, you get =85 Windows. = If you put a few drops of Java into Windows, you still have Windows." Microsoft executive Tod Nielsen response to McNealy's charges: "Sun's board should wash his mouth out with soap. If my five-year-old talked the same way, she'd be blowing bubbles."
