Cybertimes: Sun's McNealy calls for a hatemail campaign against Bill Gates.

"Mail Starting 11/6/97", includes comments from Cornelius Willis, director of platform marketing at Microsoft.

A milestone was reached today at 2:20:07PM, with approx 785 days before 12/31/99, the Scripting News home page was built with Frontier 5.0a11 running on Windows NT 4.0. Wish us luck!

The Mail Page component of our content software now runs on Windows as of 6:25PM. It's not working as well as it works on the Mac, Eudora isn't scriptable on Windows, and clipboard.get isn't working in Frontier/Win. So there won't be confirming email until we get a direct TCP function working, and I'm going to have to be selective in postings because there's a fair amount of manual work involved.

Thanks to Dave Bakin who pointed out that the glossary links weren't working on Windows. It was an easy fix. So far so good!

News.com: Sun says what they did was OK. If Pendragon's claims are true, Sun behaved unethically. Their marketing people are compounding the problem.
