Microsoft launches new Internet strategy
Article Abstract:
Microsoft Corp. introduced its new BizTalk electronic commerce initiative. The initiative is designed to strengthen the software giant's strategy. Previous electronic commerce efforts produced little "biz action." Microsoft's chairman and CEO, Bill Gates, introduced the new plans at a San Francisco event. The intiative shows that Microsoft has prioritized a market that experts say has been unsuccesful in creating much momentum.
