"This memo goes on to Mr. Gates to say, there are three possible ways
to address the threat of the Java platform .. The third choice is to
make major innovations to our platform so people still prefer to write

It's also a curious insight into the world view of Gates and a good
example of a severe case of projection, it's him who's in a kill
situation with the rest of the industry.
