"A new boss, new product, and a new culture at Microsoft" by Paul Andrews Special to The Seattle Times "The cult of Bill is becoming the clan of Steve. In the 18 months since he took over day-to-day management, Steve Ballmer has been remaking Microsoft in his image the way the company once reflected the personal mannerisms and managerial style of Bill Gates. Sales. Service. Reliability. Security. Those are the watchwords of Steve Ballmer's Microsoft. The Gates bywords - "vision," "cool," "Information At Your Fingertips" - are the old Microsoft. Nowhere is the Ballmerization of Microsoft more evident than in Windows 2000...." seattletimes.com --------------------------- Sunday, February 13, 2000 User-friendly "Faster, easier to use, but don't expect Windows 2000 to have new look With the upgrade of Windows NT, dubbed Windows 2000, due on Thursday and the upgrade of Windows 98 in the wings for later this year, personal-computer users may be wondering which system is right for them.

(OT): I'm no fan of Clinton, but exactly what sort of action would you suggest, sending gunboats to the gulf to steal the oil? I'd rather see policies aimed at reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. If it wasn't so shockingly wasteful I'd be laughing out loud at all these Californian suburbanites driving to the grocery store in their 4WD behemoths that will never see snow or dirt. Burning coal for electricity and oil for ground transportation is unsustainable. Not only will we eventually run out, the greenhouse gases are beginning to produce unmistakable signs of planetary warming. We have more pressing uses for petroleum, including pastics and as feedstocks to numerous chemical processes. If we still want our kids to have the benefits of civilization a century from now we'll have to find a better way to run it.
