Holding Five Aces (11/21/97)

Meanwhile, circumstantial evidence pointing to other Microsoft anticompetitive practices continues to mount. The gents at MacOS Rumors report that they've collected some 200-odd examples of "suspicious" behavior by Microsoft's browsers and web servers, including today's report by a reader who found that he was unable to download Netscape Communicator while using Internet Explorer 3.01. Netscape's site reported that it was unable to set a "cookie" on the reader's machine, despite the fact that the reader had numerous cookies from numerous other sources-- just not one from Netscape. In addition, Netscape Navigator downloaded the software just fine.

AtAT can't confirm this behavior (we won't let MSIE near our beloved PowerTower), but we agree with Rumors that it sounds suspicious, and similar to the reports that MSIE is given higher priority than Netscape Navigator when connecting to Microsoft's Internet Information Server software, thus making Netscape seem slower. Hmmm. Hey, DoJ; got a minute?

  • 200: The DoJ Ain't Buyin' It (11/21/97)   The latest round in Microsoft's grudge match with the U.S. Department of Justice occurred yesterday, when the DoJ urged Judge Thomas Penfeld Jackson to body-slam Bill & Co. with a $1 million-a-day fine for violating a 1995 federal court order...

Why did you tune in to this '90s relic of a soap opera?
Nostalgia is the next best thing to feeling alive
My name is Rip Van Winkle and I just woke up; what did I miss?
I'm trying to pretend the last 20 years never happened
I mean, if it worked for Friends, why not?
I came here looking for a receptacle in which to place the cremated remains of my deceased Java applets (think about it)
