Microsoft to delay release of Windows .NET server software Associated Press REDMOND, Washington (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) said it would again delay the release of its new Windows .NET server products in part because of the software maker's added focus on security. The set of products was scheduled to come out in the first half of this year but now will come out in the second half, Bob O'Brien, group product manager for the Windows .NET Server division, said Friday. O'Brien said the delay mainly is to allow the company's software developers to fine tune the product's performance. But, he added, company chairman Bill Gates' directive to make sure the company's software is secure "has, of course, caused us to do a double and triple look to make sure we're getting it out right." Gates, also Microsoft's chief software architect, told employees in mid-January the company must place top priority on security and privacy for software users -- something critics say Microsoft has ignored too long. This is the second time the company has delayed the release of Windows .NET server, which is to replace the company's Windows 2000 server software. The product was originally scheduled to be released toward the end of last year but was delayed after the release of the latest desktop operating system software, Windows XP, was pushed back to last fall. O'Brien said the company delayed the first time because it wanted to space the releases of the products out by several months. ------ On the Net: microsoft.com biz.yahoo.com

WR, here is a TA question for you and others..... The 10 year chart of gold shows a rounded bottom forming from late 1996 to the present, with it currently, perhaps, coming up out of the rounding bottom. The 10 year chart of the nyse shows a rounded top over the same time period, with the chart heading down into the declining portion of the rounding top from mid-2000. If the rounding top plays out according to TA, then we would expect the downward movement in nyse to continue for a couple more years....is this something that you consider likely? Do you think the rounded bottom in gold will similarly project upward for a couple more years? Here are some comments on rounded reversals from Edwards and Magee: "We know of no measuring formula that can be applied to Rounding Turns (except for the minimum qualifications we mentioned in connection with Head-and-shoulders, ie they cannot be counted upon to produce a greater move than the preceding price swing in the opposite direction). But they almost never deceive. Their implications can be roughly estimated from the magnitude of the trends that led to them and the length of time they take in the rounding-over process. The Rounding turns that often appear on weekly and monthly charts, thus, have major import." If this is true, it may be a good idea to stay away from nyse for a looooong time. Although gold might be a good place to be in the mean time. Appreciate your comments Robin
