The whole world will be watching BillyGate - Seattle and Washington contributors, Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.

Yesterday, Judge Jackson just allowed the entire world media to have open access to ALL deposition materials, etc. - including the full dep of Billy himself soon to come - with some limitations.

Ok everyone - let's try to imagine the media web that will start to spin its way around this ironic mix of power, politics and technology. Truth? Spin? FUD, MUD, MAD....?

And then we have all these wonderful examples that weigh against these Bills:

Lies vs. Truth
Closed vs. Open
The Mighty vs. The Underdog
Delays vs. Now
Legal Problems vs. Legal Support
Rope a Dope vs. Standing For Something

Now let's port this over to the technology equivalent:

NT 5.0? vs. Netware 5.0
2001+ vs. 9/98
45-50 mm lines of code vs. < 10mm (exact #?)
MAD later vs. NDS now
Expose your enterprise to:
DO NOTHING waiting for NT 5.0 IS/IT Management vs. Act Now and Drill Into the Net NOW!!
Corporate Enterprise Internet Confusion vs. Corporate Enterprise Internet Fusion
Closed, Sucking, Taking, vs. Open, Expanding, Giving
Lie and Die vs. Give, Live and Thrive

The two Bills have met their match at the same time in world history. Let the color and circus of the press and media expand in full flower.

The BillyGate Show is just beginning.

If pigs could fly, Gates would have wings.
