The site: http://www.windows1984.com/ --- From: "ws" <wsat_private> To: declanat_private Subject: press release: windows1984.com launched Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 14:33:44 -0500 In (late) 1995 Microsoft launched its Windows95 product to the tune of the Rolling Stones' START ME UP. Now a concerned "Oceanian" launches windows1984.com. The question is: Will Microsoft SHUT ME DOWN? The aim of this website is to draw attention to issues, particularly those related to personal computer use, which threaten to bring us closer to the dystopian nightmare of George Orwell's novel, 1984. (hint: Palladium) Unofficially, the site is in post-release beta, but so were the Microsoft Windows products for over a decade. -- WS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
