I just posted the following from stanford.edu; it probably won't be
approved and propagated in time, though.
By the way, alt.internet.media-coverage, to which someone pointed me, is
explicitly *not* for press releases.
I do not plan to utter the string "cypherpunks at toad.com" because I think
there's enough noise here already (some from me).
Apologies to sameer for being presumptuous, but I did say "hope," and I
also think tomorrow would be a really good time to document the .PWL file
bugs...

Subject: Info on Microsoft Internet Announcements Thursday, December 7, 1995
Please reply, if necessary, to the address in the current FAQ, because I
very seldom actually log on to America "On Line." Before forwarding this
along, please check whether this has already been done; and let me know
after the fact.
As has already been announced in the print press, Bill Gates, who works
at a large software company, will hold a press conference tomorrow,
December 7th (a date with some historical significance), to announce
Microsoft's Internet strategy.
For information on Microsoft-sponsored marketing events in your area,
please see http://www.microsoft.com/events/
Approximately fifteen minutes after Mr. Gates begins speaking (anyone
have the exact schedule? please phone me), we hope to release very
significant updates to the following Internet sites:
http://www.c2.org/hackmsoft/
[information on a few security problems with Microsoft products]
http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/faq.html
[canon URL; multiple DNS-load-balancing SPARCServers]
http://www-dccs.stanford.edu/NetConsult/Win95Net/faq.html
[use this mirror of the above if you have an old DNS server that
barfs on the www-leland lbnamed tricks]
news.answers, comp.answers, comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc, and several
higher-traffic groups will receive a text rendering of the above. This
will be the first approved and rtfm-archived posting; the news-answers
folks got back to me last week.
gopher://quixote.stanford.edu/1m/win95netbugs will get a text rendering
of the above, and contains relevant messages from an email discussion
list.
An email autoresponder to be named later (finger
llurch at elaine.stanford.edu in the morning).
The various archives on http://www.hks.net/ have additional information
for the technically minded.
A PGP-signed copy of this announcement is available on request, but I
don't want to confuse the unwashed masses unnecessarily.
