...hacker underground is attacking it with viruses like Melissa and Happy99.exe. And at Microsoft's very core, its next-generation operating system, Windows 2000, is MIA. The long-promised Windows overhaul, due months ago, might not even reach consumers by the millennium. The company has apparently just discovered that home users are a huge market; rather than force an industrial-strength operating system on housewives and schoolkids, it will give them a retooled Windows 98 stopgap in the fall. Whoopee...
Still, Office 2000 attempts to spin the Microsoft web even further, adding tools that will benefit mainly corporate, rather than home, users.

It simply explained what the company sold and where it was located. A couple of weeks later, a customer in Meridian, Miss., liked what he saw online and proceeded to place an order over the phone for a Takamine guitar. More orders flooded in. "We realized people liked sitting on the computer buying things, and that's what...
Corporate Korea may also be getting the message that it needs to change. The Housing & Commercial Bank, for example, was a clunky, state-run institution until two years ago and the only bank in Korea allowed to make mortgage loans to home buyers. Lending money used to be a relaxed affair. Loan officers decided what a property was worth after a quick look at the house and a chat with the owner or a local real estate agent.
