Jim - Off Topic - Marc Andreesen's (Netscape) Comments on Java and Microsoft. These are interesting - and poignant - remarks. {==============================} techweb.com "Javagator is dead," he said in an interview after a speech at the Enterprise Outlook conference here in Burlingame, Calif. Then he turned facetious on the merits of a Java browser. "My joke is that a Java Navigator will have a lot of good attributes: It's slower. It will crash more and have fewer features. So you can do fewer things. It will simplify your life," he said, laughing. "I've always believed Netscape's original mistake was someone actually has to do the work. It's technically possible, but no one is doing the work," he said. "The work is to make the Java runtime stable and fast. There's an opportunity to do that. Right now, Microsoft is doing it. And there you are." {====================================} For those that think Microsoft got where they are by "being lucky", these remarks - from someone "beaten up" by Microsoft - tell a different tale.
