VIDEOBLOG: Java's 10th B-day: The story of Duke

Watch this (slightly edited) video to learn from James Gosling where Duke, the Java mascot, came from.

I have my doubts however about the part where he accuses Microsoft of basing "Clippy" on early sketches of Duke. At least - John Michaud, a graphical artist from Seattle who designed the character, has a different version.
