* NOORDA's WILLOWS TO PUT ITS WINDOWS-ON-UNIX SOURCE ON TO NET

[sniping again]

* create something of a paradigm shift - at least within the
* narrow confines of Unix - and spell the end of Sun
* Microsystems Inc's like-minded but limited product, Wabi, as
* well as Motif.

Oh great, well thats me out of a job then :-(
