Micron Electronics to exit PC business

By Margaret Kane ZDII


Micron Electronics said Friday it is exiting the PC business and merging with Web hosting company Interland in a $130 million stock deal that will transform the company into a hosting firm.

The all-stock deal will combine Micron’s HostPro Web hosting subsidiary with Interland (Nasdaq: ILND), creating a new firm that will use the Interland name. Interland stockholders will own 30 percent of the new company. Interland went public in July.
