Ms. Eagan sells her shares of EMC,throughout the year,every year, so does her husband, son and whoever else in the family that owns a ton of the stock. Its a way of being compensated by EMC. Their salaries are purposely below average thus they exercise their stock options. This is really a non-event. Donald

I don't know about you guys, but all this talk about SAN's is really starting to piss me off: Does anyone know if EMC is doing anything to compete in this "revolutionary" storage area???? Thursday December 3, 2:02 pm Eastern Time Microsoft, Compaq in Windows storage systems pact REDMOND, Wash., Dec 3 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news) said they are working on software to make it easier to create high-capacity data storage systems that will give the next generation of corporate Windows users rapid access to centrally stored data. The companies, which are the leading suppliers of personal computer software and PC hardware, respectively, said they are developing a key building block that will allow companies to interconnect so-called system area networks (SANs). SANs are made up of up of scores of standard hard disk-drives strung together to create large-scale storage systems at lower costs than previously existing methods of data storage. They are designed to connect directly to computers in departmental workgroups to ensure faster responses to data requests from office computer users, bypassing the need for large computers known as servers to handle such requests. SANs contrast with traditional corporate data storage systems that are located in remote, centralized datacenters and are connected only indirectly to desktop computers. Microsoft, with significant contributions from Compaq, said they would push for a new industry standard for SANs known as the WinSock/SAN Open Industry Initiative, which would make it easier for software programmers to link programs up to SANs. Users could then use SANs to link up departmental Web servers, or computers used to manage connections to the Internet, and application servers, which give office computer users access to essential software programs over the network. SANs are seen as the next wave of storage systems for managing massive volumes of existing corporate data and the further explosion in demand expected as companies set up high-bandwidth Internet connections for their employees. The announcement builds on Microsoft and Compaq's previous efforts to build high-capacity clustering features into Windows software. Their pact is designed to help propel Windows 2000, the next generation of Microsoft Windows NT corporate software, into a central role in mananging corporate data centers, the guts of any corporate computer system. WinSock/SAN is expected to be in final testings as early as sometime next year with release slated to coincide with the introduction of Windows 2000, which is due out in the next millennium.
