Microsoft will take a test version of this tool out of the Redmond shed this week. The tool is bait to lure Java developers over to .Net.

That fact should help MS dodge licensing issues with Sun. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-7462087.html?tag=mn_hd MORE INFORMATION: Get ready for .Net -- check out http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid1_gci761379,00.html. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= OTHER HEADLINES The headlines below and others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news MICROSOFT LAUNCHES PREVIEW OF ALERTS SERVICE | News: InternetWeek Microsoft has put out a preview of its .Net Alerts Service, designed to allow online merchants to communicate with customers via e-mail, instant messaging and handheld computers.

Wal-Mart meets the Jetsons with a dash of "Ghostbusters" to boot. Holomedia, a joint American/Hungarian venture has come up with a way to turn ads into apparitions. The firm has cranked out a gadget that can project still or moving pictures in such a way that they seem to float in mid-air. Stores would use the device to float product ads out on the sales floor. Just imagine walking into a store and seeing a giant can of potted meat floating in front of you. Maybe you'd prefer to see a ghost! >> CLICK: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2816844,00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01 >>> VeriSign - The Internet Trust Company <<< Upgrade your server security to 128-bit SSL encryption!
