To repeat news item from a few days ago.....And Extended Systems (XTND:Nasdaq) gained 8 1/2, or 89%, to close at 18 after the company set a venture with Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq). What Microsoft actually endorsed is a bit of software that allows people who use handheld computers to exchange data entered into the handheld with data entered into their PC through an interoffice computer system. In other words, if a scheduled meeting is entered into the handheld computer, the Extended Systems software will put it onto the desk-bound computer. The XTNDConnect Server was appealing because it can be used with Windows CE, Microsoft's operating system for handheld computers, as well as with the systems used by the better-known Palm Pilot handheld computers, the company said. "We chose Extended Systems because of the breadth and flexibility of its solutions," Roger Weed, director of productivity appliances for Microsoft, said in a statement. Extended Systems, founded in 1984, went public last year.
