Microsoft unveils tools
Microsoft last week announced a series of initiatives designed to help Internet service providers (ISPs) and application service providers (ASPs) keep up with the demands of growing Internet traffic. During a keynote speech at the ISPCon Fall '99 trade show here, Thomas Koll, director of Microsoft's Network Solutions Group, said the company is working to sell and manage software applications for ISPs and ASPs as it prepares to launch Windows 2000 in February 2000.
