Late yesterday, COMPAQ COMPUTER CORP said it is offering improved home products at lower prices to increase market share in Europe in general and Germany in particular. Analyst Jeremy Davies, senior partner at market researcher CONTEXT, described COMPAQ's plans as aggressive and likely to win market share in Germany at the expensive of local suppliers. The company, already the market leader in Europe for PCs in the work-place, also said it will seek new business from Internet services which it expects to be a major new source of revenue.

"Microsoft and Intel have dropped a very pleasant surprise in our lap," George Reyes, a Sun vice president and corporate controller, told a NationsBanc Montgomery Securities conference. "This is hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars. We intend to capitalize on that." Reyes said that Sun is confident it will get its next- generation 64-bit technologies out the door sooner than both Intel and Microsoft. (Reuters 09:08 PM ET 09/16/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com * Late yesterday, INTERGRAPH CORP said it has asked a federal court for a summary judgment in its antitrust suit with INTEL CORP and sees no reason why the case should proceed to trial. Intergraph said it had asked the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Alabama to use existing evidence to decide whether Intel took part in patent infringement, as Intergraph alleges. The Huntsville, Ala.-based company also asked for a dismissal of Intel's motion for a summary judgment on Intergraph's allegations of anti-competitive behavior and patent infringement. (Reuters 03:49 PM ET 09/17/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com * INTEL CORP said it has embarked on an effort to make peace among the computer companies selling the Unix operating system, a move that could exacerbate tensions with longtime partner MICROSOFT CORP, the Wall Street Journal reported. Intel said Wednesday it will be working with major computer makers to develop common guidelines for Unix, the first time the Santa Clara, Calif., company has attempted such an effort, the report said. While Unix suppliers have tried many times over the years to develop a single version of the operating systems, their marketplace rivalries always got in the way of an agreement, the report said. (Reuters 05:00 AM ET 09/17/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com * Collaboration with China would help INTEL CORP shape the technology boom in that country, Robert Yung, head of Intel's new research centre in Beijing, said. "If you look at the way the U.S. built up their high-tech (sector) in the '50s and '60s and also some of the other countries in the Asian region, similar things have already happened in China," Yung said at a press briefing in Hong Kong. "We hope that by coming here, Intel can drive the research direction as well as the technology direction, we can make an impact," Yung said. (Reuters 02:13 AM ET 09/17/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com * Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch said that the FTC needs to be "careful" as it pursues INTL CORP. for alleged violations of antitrust law. Hatch, a Utah Republican, dwelled mostly on potential violations of antitrust law by Microsoft Corp. in a speech to a conference sponsored by Summit Magazine. But he took a different tack on Intel Corp., the world's largest producer of microprocessors for personal computers. Hatch said that there is a tension between intellectual property rights and antitrust law which is "at the heart of the FTC's current Intel case."

Elwood, Thanks for catching that. Also CPQ's incorporating the Tandem Non Stop Kernel, will result in some superior products. RE: exchange2000.com Regards, Mardy.

Richard Schmidt, Editor of Stellar Stock Report, sees many reasons to buy stock in Compaq (CPQ). But to Schmidt, the Alta Vista search engine is one of the most compelling arguments for investing in the world's number one PC maker. Compaq acquired Alta Vista when it bought Digital Equipment Corp. and he says it far exceeds the search technology used by the "high flyers" of today. "In today's world of mania pricing for Internet search companies, Alta Vista on its own would be worth more than all of Compaq and Digital combined," Schmidt says.
