I don't know if this was a serious comment a few back, but if it was, why is Netscape going away from Java positive for Sun?

Bill Gates Gets Pie in the Face

Wednesday, February 4, 1998; 11:42 a.m. EST

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- Bill Gates
got a cream pie in his face Wednesday
as the Microsoft Corp. Chairman arrived
for a meeting with business and government leaders.

''We regret the incident (but) will not
press charges,'' said a spokesman for the
Belgian office of Microsoft.

Police arrested two people but did not
identity them. They were looking for a
third person who was in on the prank.

The pie thrower hit Gates full in the
face as he entered the Concert Noble, an
ornate hall where he was to meet
Belgian computer industry and government
leaders.

With cream dripping on the shoulders of
his dark business suit and covering the
lenses of his glasses, Gates was led
into a side room where he was dusted off.

He later emerged, looking somewhat
embarrassed as he met with Luc van den
Brande, the prime minister of Flanders,
Belgium's Dutch-speaking northern
half.
