To be clear the literal text on the slide is “aimed to counter Microsoft’s .NET framework.” He said something similar verbally.
Slightly earlier he did discuss the general alliance against Microsoft. I thought it was funny he didn’t mention Netscape as part of the alliance. At the time they were considered far more important than IBM or Oracle for purposes of displacing Microsoft on the consumer side.
It’s fine in the grand scheme of things, a younger person who was not there trying to reconstruct what happened and slipping up a bit. But for someone who cares about the details of this sort of history I didn’t want to absorb any similar errors about Common Lisp which I’m genuinely curious to learn about.
