Netscape buys out Actra partner news.com I don't know what this means, but Netscape isn't much in the news these days so I got to post things when I see them. "This positions us to compete aggressively in the electronic commerce market, where Microsoft is not competing today," said Lori Mirek, Netscape's senior vice president of marketing. She stressed Actra's software as an extension of Netscape's extranets strategy of linking businesses, although two Actra products are targeted primarily at the consumer commerce space. Oops, time for Microsoft to start working on some more free software. Might have to "build it into the operating system" too. Cheers, Dan. Cheers, Dan.

I happen to be very pro Sun in this java-war, but if they did futz with the benchmarks, then whomever knew about it should be fired, all the way up. If Scott McNealy knew about it, then Sun is in trouble. Sun has to maintain a very high standard in this battle or it will lose all the good will it has generated. "Microsoft does it too," will not cut it.
