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

Microsoft executive Tod Nielsen response to McNealy's charges:  "Sun's

same way, she'd be blowing bubbles."  (New York Times Cybertimes 6 Nov 97)=
