A little bird tells me that it's time to hack in, derm up, and hold on tight ... infoworld.com

Another member of the press division at infoworld weighs in for the week. Netscape takes a hit here, and there's sardonic commentary on Bill's pie, but my excerp is for the "leave the lawyers out of this, let Microsoft innovate" crowd.

I hear from a university researcher who's been posting details about year-2000 issues on an academic Web site, giving people a heads-up on which products are not yet Y2K compliant. It seems there's a fairly long list of Microsoft products on the site. Microsoft's response? Heavy-handed calls from Microsoft's legal department "encouraging" this researcher to withdraw details of Microsoft products from the site. In Neuromancer the evil conglomerates hire ninja hit men to assassinate their enemies, and I guess we're not quite there yet, but you get the idea.

Note to myself: Don't annoy powerful U.S. business interests.


Oops. Once again, I'm in big trouble. Microsoft lawyers are quite innovative, I hear.

Cheers, Dan.
