How Microsoft can stomp the DOJ in five easy steps zdnet.com Warning: not for the humor impaired. Conclusion: "If we can't integrate, we'll miss the ship date." Of course, with the Operating System formerly known as Windows 97, that's a hard one to pin down. What's old Johnny Cochran up to these days anyway? Cheers, Dan.

An Industry That Shrugs Off Errors nytimes.com And of course we need not mention who the undisputed industry leader is here. That Dvorak is just a sourpuss, maybe he read Fred Moody on Microsoft and ethics. The holidays were going just fine at my nephew's house until he tried to install a software gift on the computer the family bought the previous Christmas. He never got the game to work -- and, as a bonus, the computer no longer worked for anything else, either. His parents will be spending hours on the phone in an attempt to sort things out. The holidays were going just fine at the big software company where a friend tried to install the company-mandated program for manipulating end-of-the-year pension plan data. After the machine went dead, a systems expert told him that he would have to reinstall the supposedly industrial-strength Windows NT operating system. Two days later, he was still working overtime restoring all the settings he had customized for the programs he uses. Well, you just have to learn to appreciate the old "reformat, reinstall" drill, though for people who can't program their VCRs, I wonder about that. I'm a little disturbed about that "industrial strenght NT" remark, though, but I guess it's all relative. Cheers, Dan.
