Microsoft and Pointcast In Deal
When MS announced that the next release of Windows (I wonder if they
will call it Windows 00 three years from now) would incorporate a new
Internet Explorer that allowed channels of Web "push" services on the
desktop, it looked like they were set to move in on Pointcast like they
are moving in on Netscape. But for the short term at least, they look
to be coexisting. The two companies announced plans to cooperate:
Pointcast will distribute MSNBC content and "embrace Microsoft
technology", and the new Windows will feature the Pointcast system on
the desktop. Since most Pointcast users today are said to run Netscape
Navigator, guess who loses.
DuPont Does $4 Billion Outsourcing
They awarded 10-year contracts to Computer Sciences Corporation and
Andersen Consulting to manage corporate systems that include 300 sites
in 70 countries, with 65,000 computers. Andersen also got $550 million
to run DuPont's application development.

The cookies are set by yapp, our conferencing software. And Dave Thaler, the
author of yapp, would be in a better position to explain "cookies". You may want
to venture over to the yapp conference and pose this question to Dave. I posted
some generic informatoin on cookies a while back if you want to follow those
links. Did you read those posts?
