DaveNet: The Judge, Java, Windows, Mac, XML.

Microsoft's Tod Nielsen responds.

SJ Merc: Sun wins injunction against Microsoft.

CNET: October 1997 interview with Bill Gates. Read this! It's very revealing. Bill with the gloves off. Oh what a difference a year makes.

Apple reports that there's scripting support in the next release of Mac Java. Apparently the integration is quite extensive, beyond that on Windows? Updated with comments from Chuck Shotton and Brent Simmons.

InfoWorld's Jeff Walsh filed two reports from XML 98, one on E-commerce and the other on pu blishing.

InfoWorld: Microsoft and Knowledge Management.

PBS's Theodore the Tugboat is a Frontier site.

IBM's AlphaWorks site focuses on XML and Java.

Press release: Object Design does an XML data server. They claim to be first, but they haven't shipped yet. Further, it's not clear what the product does. For the record, Frontier 5.1 has a lot of the features they tout, and it shipped in July 1998.

An InfoWorld article about ObjectDesign's server makes it clearer. Apparently it's an XML interface onto databases and it implements a cache, so that records can be stored closer to where they're needed. It seems like this would be a relatively quick project for a skilled Frontier programmer, especially if they grok the ODBC APIs.

Press release: Microsoft and webMethods sittin in a tree. They're making love over XQL, which looks very nice indeed.

Here's a peek into the kind of stuff we've been working on.

Yo!
