The other day when I was standing next to Bill on Steve's yacht, I said "How can we bring Java to its knees?" and after a bit Steve snapped his fingers, raised arms so we could see those sweaty pits and said "Developers Developers Developers"... . Bill interperated this for me as "Why not port OLE 2 Compound Document Fromat to Java under the guise of breaking our monopoly on file formats while secretly getting everyone to use them" And I bowed down and said "I'm not worthy" and here I am..
