“The New York Times’ John Markoff reports the sad failure of a
Sun plot to unleash a pest extermination company on Microsoft to
coincide with the big Windows 2000 launch on 17th February.”
“A fleet of 20 bright yellow trucks [hired by Sun] with
Western Exterminator emblazoned on their sides had been retained,
and detailed to cruise around the San Francisco Moscone Convention
Center on the big day, while Microsoft unwrapped Win2k, including
its 63,000, er, issues, inside.”
“Curiously, it appears the company had been under the impression
that it was being hired by Microsoft rather than Sun. To do what?
Work on service pack one, presumably.”
