Searchable white paper library  From the Editor: by Ed Parry, News Editor Dueling directories, the Domino effect, Apache attacks, the Office onslaught -- Microsoft has some formidable foes in the battle for enterprise supremacy. Like Batman, Microsoft is battling a pesky penguin. The company is also dealing with a licensing program that's going over like New Coke and a cynical vibe begotten of the antitrust trial. If you read the technology news from across the globe, it becomes more and more obvious that more and more customers are getting more and more restless when it comes to their relationships with Redmond. Goverments especially are looking to wean themselves from their Windows habits. SearchWin2000 tried and tried to get Redmond to talk about the multi-front competition it's facing, but only one division, the SQL Server folks, was willing to give us an interview.
