Rick Belluzzo, the company's president and chief operating officer will step down May 1st and leave the company entirely in September. His exit marks a reorganization in Redmond. Some analysts think his consumer strategy wasn't working. Others think he had a personality conflict with other managers. Either way, his departure shouldn't affect customers that much -- Belluzzo was more involved in running the business than development of products. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci815187,00.html _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************* OTHER STORIES In addition to the headlines below, others are available on our news page. >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MICROSOFT REMEDY SHOULD ADDRESS .NET, AOL SAYS | News: Reuters A VP with AOL has taken the stand in the remedy hearings, and he's none too pleased with the state of the settlement. John Borthwick said the deal on the table now will not only let Microsoft keep its Windows monopoly, but it will also let the company dominate the Web services market through the one-two punch of XP and .NET. Borthwick is backing the dissenting states that want stiffer penalties. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci815192,00.html COULD .NET MEAN THE RETURN OF RICH CLIENTS? | News: InternetWeek The Web may have killed rich, locally-rendered client computers, but analysts at Gartner believe the emergence of Microsoft's .NET platform could mean the return of rich-client application development. Gartner said it expects that by 2005, 60% of new .NET applications will be designed with rich clients in mind. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci814870,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ADDITIONAL SEARCHWIN2000 NEWS HEADLINES All headlines, including those below, are available on our news page >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news - Storage begins to take shape at Microsoft - Microsoft, HP, others back common XML rights language - Oops!

Everyone's heard it -- a language of buzz phrases that PR people and industry geeks speak. It's a tongue so unspeakable it can turn normal people into human press releases. Now, finally, the cliches of computerdom are getting the dissing they deserve! The Mercury News asked readers which shards of IT jargon annoyed them the most. Drumroll please: "24x7," "leverage," "solution," "shift the paradigm," "grow the business," "outside the box" and "best of breed" all made the "most hated" list. Maybe these terms could go live in exile somewhere and take "functionality," "scalability," and "ramping up" with them!
