Another is how closely they should listen to either company.This is where Bill Hill re-enters the picture. As the man responsible for selling Hewlett Packard products to small British businesses – those with a maximum of 150 employees – he is outside the internet action among Footsie 100 companies: the high-street banks, the big retailing chains, the supermarket chains. But he is an expert on how the e-commerce revolution is going in the hinterland. Indeed, it has become Microsoft’s bitterest rival – offering a world in which a high proportion of e-commerce happens either through Java, an open software system allowing virtually all-comers, or Windows, Microsoft’s dominant but proprietary system.For all the rivalry, however, Sun and Microsoft are singing from the same hymn sheet.

It has positioned itself to be at the heart of all commercial activity generated by the internet. In the 1980s it began building and selling personal computers powerful enough to help stock, bond, futures and options traders conduct their increasingly abstruse calculations – comparing value, say, in the yen calls against sterling puts.By the mid 1990s Sun had evolved from a computer maker into a seller of “platforms” through which networks of computers could communicate. He was selling a revolution with the implied threat that those who did not heed his call would be done for.In fact, Woodward’s message dates back to the 1970s – when Walter Wriston, the former chairman of US bank Citicorp, stunned the financial community by declaring that banking was not about money; it was about information.Sun emerged on the back of this redefinition of financial services. “Twenty per cent of net activity is business-to-consumer,” says Microsoft Ltd’s group marketing manager, Andrew Pickup. “Eighty per cent is business-to-business.”Nor is Microsoft alone in cheerleading the e-commerce revolution.

On Thursday, Sun, another Silicon Valley software powerhouse, sponsored a “financial summit” during which the company and a variety of its bank and insurance customers offered their perspectives on the net.”The web is everything,” declared Nigel Woodward, Sun’s UK business development manager, in an almost exact restatement of Gates’ message.Woodward, like Gates, markets his company by disdaining the sale of products and services in favour of a more lofty approach Last week he was selling “strategic partnerships”. The internet equipment maker Cisco says it will soon be able to close its quarterly books two hours after the end of each period, because all its accounting data is online.E-commerce will transform the relations between a business and its suppliers as well as its customers, Microsoft asserts. Moreover, the e-commerce that many businessmen think of when they consider the net – selling online – is only part of the picture The net is for heavy lifting, too. Businesses will soon transfer endless numbers of functions: payrolls; all accounting. “Meetings will be more brainstorming sessions,” Gates says.And, of course, all this is just beginning. There are now 153 million people on the net worldwide, Gates says Twenty-nine per cent of the US is online, he adds. In 1998, 18 per cent of the UK population used the internet, NOP research shows.But the numbers are exploding.

“Rich like Oprah.”The point about the internet, however, according to Gates, is that it will radically transform the way business is done No more office drones “Everyone will be a knowledge worker,” he proclaims. No more wasting time calling meetings to pass on information in an “information-poor environment” Information will be readily available to all on the net. The way it changes everything is something about which everybody, even those who hate technology, now has a vague idea. It’s changing social mores.”Have you ever met anyone on the internet?” the American comedian Jay Leno asks an attractive young Asian woman in an amusing promotional video Gates showed to LBS students.”Yes,” the woman answers.”Was he a creepy 50-year-old?”"Yeah, he was about 50,” the woman answers.

“But he wasn’t that creepy.”The internet is driving the world’s stock markets.”What’s the internet do?” Leno asks a black American teenager.”It’s making Bill Gates rich,” the teenager replies. Will they? That, he says, depends on what’s happening in businesses facing the daily grind of increasing sales and cutting costs beyond the media spotlight. So what is happening beyond the media spotlight? Hill has a view. First, though, the message in its undiluted form.”The internet changes everything,” Microsoft chief Bill Gates declared on Friday in a speech to students at the London Business School while promoting his new book, Business The Speed of Thought.

We believe that safety has not been compromised here.NICK CLAYDONHead of CommunicationsBritish AirwaysHarmondsworth, Middlesex. Sir: I should like to put a very favourable gloss on “the humble environs of Leeds Modern School” from which Alan Bennett went on to take a first at Oxford (“An Englishman abroad”, 4 December). In particular, we support the public-private partnership as the most suitable model to ensure the long-term investment that NATS needs.
We are at the forefront of an industry group championing the public-private partnership. In fact the very night before your article was published this industry group attended a meeting of Labour backbenchers and gave evidence in support of the Government’s plans.Our main priority, like the Government’s, is to ensure that the right strategic partner is found for NATS and that the service’s excellent safety record is maintained and built upon through investment and development.There is no reason why this should not be achieved by a private sector investor who is committed to safety as an overriding priority.British Airways has been a private company for years.

The reality is that British Airways is and has always been supportive of the Government’s objectives for NATS and has said this publicly many times. Sir: You represent a speech delivered in October by Bob Ayling, chief executive of British Airways, as an attack on the public-private partnership for National Air Traffic Services (NATS) (“BA chief attacks `profits first’ plans for air traffic sell-off”, 8 December).

Sir: Simon Calder (The Traveller, 4 December) described the beach at Cairns in Queensland as “a tidal mudflat that looks plain swampy.”

That is why it is of prime importance to thousands of birds on migration. On holiday two years ago I drove down the east coast of Australia from Cairns to Melbourne, birdwatching on the way, and did not find any other muddy beach.

And perhaps Baroness Thatcher should ask the victims of the American campaign in Vietnam what a great moral example their experience has been.AHMED AIDEEDLiverpool.

And there on the Scope screen, with his hushed voice all over the theatre, was Dean – dead already, but so vital – asking Plato (Sal Mineo) to give him his gun They were in the Los Angeles planetarium. In an age when new cinemas are built like bare boxes – with a calculated 120 seats – how can Granada be a living museum? Is such a place destined to resemble those English cathedrals, slipping into damp, begging for funds? What could bring the miracle back?Like 1955 I was 14 and I’d gone to see Rebel Without a Cause It was a month or so after James Dean had died I was so eager I got there early The previous show was not over yet. The films in the Thirties were great, maybe the greatest, but were already less than an entertainment for everyone.By the mid-Sixties, the Granada was given over to bingo Though I loved the building, I never went back. For it seemed to me that a public offered movies and opting instead for bingo was every bit as doomed as the Philistines in Samson and Delilah.

In Charles’s case, the ages of William, 13 and Harry, 11, ideally require the attendance of both parents, even if one has just told the world on television that the other is not fit to rule.
