Good mornin Dan. Did you see that you have been accused of Orwellian 'newspeak'? That, in regards to your drive-by broadsides. If Bill succeeds, you know you will be re-programmed, so you won't be a threat to the truth. This internet must be assimilated.The threat of free speech and free software to innovation is a risk that simply cannot be tolerated. If only Ed Meese was still the Attorney General. People of your ilk would be in hiding by now. And finally the IBM question fnews.yahoo.com

Microsoft phases out Internet group, focuses on enterprise infoworld.com Just another story on the reorganization, nothing particularly new. I mean, Microsoft can organize itself however it wants. I cite it mostly for this amusing quote: "We want achieve an organizational focus around Bill's [Gates'] two business initiatives: the digital nervous system and the Web lifestyle," a Microsoft spokesperson said. Those famous business initiatives from the ether, the digital nervous system and the Web lifestyle. I'll start worrying about these as soon as they achieve proper vapourware status. Cheers, Dan.

Microsoft antitrust inquiries, concerns widen infoworld.com Another story with nothing particularly new, but a modestly amusing quote. The thrust of the inquiry into the content providers is to determine whether, by forcing manufacturers to accept third-party icons on the Active Desktop, Microsoft is trying to use its Windows hegemony in the operating systems world to dominate the public gateway to the World Wide Web, according to Justice Department and content-provider sources. Ok, ok, Microsoft isn't a monopoly, it's a hegemony. Sheesh. They're all a bunch of capitalist roaders, too. I hope our Chinese audience appreciates this. Cheers, Dan.
