Microsoft this week will appeal against a landmark European Union antitrust decision and ask an EU court to suspend the order pending the appeal. "We believe we have a strong case," said Tom Brookes, a Microsoft spokesman in Brussels. The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, in March said Microsoft had illegally "bundled" its Windows Media Player audiovisual software with its Windows operating system and used its monopoly in the market for desktop personal-computer operating systems to illegally muscle its way into the market for software for more powerful computers called workgroup servers.

A.G. Edwards upgraded Symantec to "buy" from "hold" with a target price of $30. A.G. Edwards said the performance of the software and network security company and Veritas Software, which Symantec agreed to acquire, will be better than expected in the intermediate term. The research firm said that for Symantec, antivirus growth in calendar 2005 "should exceed consensus [percentage] growth expectations of the mid to high teens." Also as the proposed merger "is not being driven by synergies (but rather diversification, in our opinion), it should pose less potential risk from disruption," the firm said. "Combined we think the two companies could generate $165 million more in revenue in fiscal 2006 than currently projected (about 5 cents per share)," A.G. Edwards said.

instant challenge to AOL

5 years ago… Microsoft launches
instant challenge to AOL 07/23/2004 12:49 PM
23.07.1999: Microsoft has launched a product that aims to break America Online's (AOL) dominance of the instant-messaging (IM) market. The software, called MSN Messenger Service, will be built into Microsoft's Hotmail web-based email service. It will enable users to enjoy real-time interaction with users of AOL's IM and with 40 million Hotmail users around the world.

AOL has dominated this market with IM, which only allows interaction with other IM users. Microsoft has claimed MSN Messenger Service will break down the proprietary nature of this service. But the move looks likely to provoke fury from AOL. A New York Times report quoted an AOL spokesman as saying the practice goes beyond simple reverse engineering, and is "akin to the practice of hackers".

Microsoft, Yahoo Issue Responses to

Microsoft, Yahoo Issue Responses to
Gmail Challenge 06/21/2004 10:39 AM
Responding to the impending public release of Google's Gmail service, which is offering users a full gigabyte (1 GB) of email storage space, Microsoft's MSN Hotmail and Yahoo's Mail service are both dramatically increasing their storage allotments. Yahoo's updated service debuted late last week, but Microsoft's planned update should be available soon. Yahoo Mail can't quite match Gmail's 1 GB offering, but the service has made a dramatic jump from the previous 4 MB limitation to 100 MB, which Yahoo executives say should be enough for most users. "What we are trying to do is take storage off the table as an issue," said Yahoo vice president Brad Garlinghouse, noting that Yahoo previously charged users $60 a year for 100 MB of storage. Yahoo also raised the email attachment size limit from 3 MB to 10 MB, and the company now offers only one paid upgrade package: For $20 a year, users can upgrade to a whopping 2 GB of storage space. Users who pay for Yahoo Mail will also see no graphical ads, the company says.

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs was asked during a November meeting with analysts whether the company would ever make its iPod music player work directly with something other than its iTunes Music Store. There was a noticeable sense of accomplishment in his voice when he answered. First he pointed out the dominant market position achieved by the iPod. Then he noted that the iTunes store had just captured more than 80 percent of the market for legally downloaded music.

Apple to go head-on with Microsoft? 12/31/2004 10:55 AM
Not quite, but Apple Computer Inc. will try to gain more consumers by lowering their prices on their iMac product. The iMac, an all around product, for the advertising and graphic sector might become a bit less expensive during 2005. Apple wants to take a piece out of Microsoft's bussines since they feel their iPod product is doing so good at the moment and Microsoft's leading product: Windows is having a heap of security problems. Although Apple made no announcement at this time, word around the campfire is, Apple plans on selling $500 iMac's.
