> Hi Dave:

> Could you do me a favor and try to help correct the erroneous report that
> MS-NBC somehow doctored a story of mine to remove some supposed
> anti-Microsoft references? (That Hotmail uses Solaris.) Nothing of the sort
> happened. MS-NBC simply used an earlier version of the story, one that also
> appeared in many print editions of the paper. This version did NOT discuss
> Solaris; I added that to the last version of the story, one I wrote late in
> the afternoon. That last version is the one that gets into most of our print
> papers, and it apparently also got onto MS-NBC, eventually. But there was no
> conspiracy to keep it off before then. I happen to know a bunch of people at
> MS-NBC -- they are former colleagues from a past life -- and I respect their
> professionalism and integrity a great deal.
>
> Many thanks, Dave.
