Microsoft on HP and Linux, 2002: oh, noes

I have another Comes v. Microsoft exhibit to share with you, Exhibit 9542 [PDF], a November 22, 2002 email to Jim Allchin and Orlando Ayala from Mike Oldham. It has to do with a planned meeting on the 25th between the two companies, on their "Better Together" theme. I think it will explain some things we've sometimes wondered about. One thing is clear. Microsoft was seriously concerned about Linux. And HP? Somewhat flexible, I'd say. Note the part about "the HP plan of record" to "bring a new Linux powered device into the mid-range marketplace" regarding NAS devices (network attached storage devices) and how Microsoft was able to convince them not to do that.

http::cookies::microsoft

HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)

NAME

       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - access to Microsoft cookies files

SYNOPSIS

	use LWP;
	use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
	use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
	my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
	     {"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};

	$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
			  file	   => "$cookies_dir\index.dat",
			  'delayload' => 1,
		      );
	my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.

       See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

METHODS

       The following methods are provided:

       $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
	   The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes
	   the following:

	     delayload:       delay loading of cookie data until a request
			      is actually made. This results in faster
			      runtime unless you use most of the cookies
			      since only the domain's cookie data
			      is loaded on demand.

CAVEATS

       Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
