A mad dinosaur has been found lurking on Microsoft's site and first reports are it is the Son of Chipzilla, the biggest and meanest semiconductor in the world. The effect that the Son of Chipzilla will have on Microsoft software can only be guessed, said our dinosaur correspondent. However, a Microsoft representative pointed out that Barney is a registered trademark and we'd better be careful otherwise we'll be in bother. Chipzilla is an Open Source nickname. ®
