[comp.windows.news] NeWS Obituary: Where is SUN?

ric@rioja.ifs.umich.edu (Richard Campbell) (03/01/90)

Ever since John Gilmore's:

>	We are thinking of holding a wake for NeWS in our
>	ex-offices a few days before we have to be out.

there was has been a deafening silence on the net from SUN Microsystems.
I'd think that after a bunch of articles in comp.windows.news complaining
about SUN's lack of political support for NeWS that the least SUN would do
is post an official rebuttal.

I'm sure that stockholders in SUN would be shocked to hear that their
company is refusing to stomp out rumors of the demise of product that has
received such a heavy investment and advertising campaign.

Unless it's true....


Maybe SunExpert or Unix Today can shed some light on this.
