Legal Action On Windows 98 Could Delay Windows NT 5.0 techweb.com
Sounds like a good excuse to me, though the logic is elusive. Anyway, Steve's buddy Amato is the source here too.
"Our whole future in professional services is based around Microsoft's deployment of new technology," he said.
I'd say that's a problem, but that's just me.
Furthermore, Amato is seeking to galvanize political clout by setting up meetings with state officials, and is seeking an audience with Vice President Al Gore. "Given his aspiration toward the presidency, I think he should get involved," Amato said.
Hey, can't Bill do anything for himself anymore? Too busy being the naive software engineer (or hobnobbing with less democratically chosen heads of state) to call up his old golf buddies, Al Gore and that other Bill? Anyway, on to the same ironic conclusion as that other piece.
Amato said he is keeping an "arms distance" from Microsoft on the issue, and said he did receive an e-mail from Steve Ballmer, Microsoft executive vice president, thanking him for the support.
Cheers, Dan. |
