Washington influence peddling is that rare arena in which Gates is a legitimate underdog. Sun, Oracle and Netscape--the ABM (Anybody But Microsoft) coalition's holy trinity--have emerged as a potent force with an unlikely assortment of top-drawer allies, from Nader on the left to the Progress and Freedom Foundation's Jeff Eisenach on the free-market right. Senate majority leader Trent Lott is an old college buddy of Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale's. House Speaker Newt Gingrich cooled on Microsoft after a private dinner in 1995 during which he was rebuffed by the notoriously apolitical Gates...
Free t-shirts present their own problem: too little drawer space.

In their gag, they referenced the lyric "while you go have a beer" from Cole's hit "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone." The group also made up a mock song about the many fans sitting...
...image problem. Its computers, monitors and CD-ROM drives had long been regarded as top-drawer offerings, but they had all the excitement of dinner and a movie on a first date. Not content with its puny 3% share of the U.S. desktop market, the company has jazzed things up with stylish designs and a new approach to building...
