Editor
==========================================================
Do you own Microsoft stock? Last week they announced that they will start
doing regular, quarterly dividends. A dividend of $.08 is planned in March of
next year.
Also announced at Microsoft was a beta version of the MSN Toolbar Suite. This
includes their desktop search functionality and more. You can find the beta by
going to http://beta.toolbar.msn.com/
The toolbar includes the ability to search your computer for documents,
photos, music, and more. It also allows you to search emails as well as use the
new MSN Search. Also included is a pop-up blocker and intelligence for filling
our forms
I couldn’t mention technical things in the news without also mentioning the
fact that Oracle is now managing to acquire PeopleSoft. While the acquisition
comes at a cost of $2.50 a share more than Oracle’s “Final Offer”, it is a deal
non-the-less. For more on this, you can see InternetNews’ article, “Oracle to
Buy PeopleSoft for $10.3B” at http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,1a8a,1,jc3a,hrud,jorm,i5r0
