Microsoft trial scrolls forward

Article Abstract:

As the anti-trust trial of Microsoft Corporation moves on, it appears that a compromise, and not a specific judgment, will be reached. As a result of the trial, Microsoft has curtailed its extreme business practices, and that may be enough "punishment." Further, if the government punishes Microsoft by splitting it, it will need to do this to every company, which is bad for the industry. The integration of Internet browser technology into Windows is also a compromise, as it allows other companies to take advantage of browser functions for their applications.

Taking the network an extra step

Article Abstract:

Companies are extending the usefulness of in-company intranets by creating extranets, which connect intranets to outside users via the Internet. Extranets allow business partners and clients to access company intranets and permit viewing and ordering of products online. Extranets eliminate time and re-keying errors associated with conventional order processes.
