Viglen
Article Abstract:
Viglen is setting up an internet subsidiary, and news of this has helped to boost the company's stock price. Viglen has also secured new education deals and supplies computers to schools in Britain. The company's schools software operation is also performing well and has received awards. The company still faces pressure in the PC market, and has some way to go in the education market. The stock price rise in response to the internet venture may also be exaggerated.
