Apple Inc.'s market capitalization on Wednesday surpassed that of Microsoft Corp.

Microsoft Corp made its most vehement and public attack on Google Inc on Friday, calling its internet rival's actions potentially anti-competitive, and urging victims to file complaints to regulators.

Computerworld: "Microsoft Corp. is, predictably, not all that impressed by Google Inc.'s demonstration of its upcoming Chrome OS today, but neither were potential rivals who make Linux and instant-on operating systems."

Linux.com: "Now that Sam Ramji, Microsoft Corp.'s point man on open source software, is leaving the company at the end of the month, who will possibly fill his shoes and continue to lead Microsoft further into the world of open source collaboration."

Datamation: "Microsoft Corp's next version of Windows is stirring fresh complaints of anticompetitive behavior from rivals who say the new version of the operating system gives unfair advantage to Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, the Financial Times reported."

Washington Times: "The impressive news last week that Microsoft Corp. posted its "first ever" decline in year-over-year quarterly sales and that revenues fell 6 percent, has set many tongues wagging in the tech world."

The number of software vulnerabilities reported in the first half of this year continued a year-old downward trend, dropping 4 percent compared with the previous six months and a respectable 19 percent from the first half of 2007, according a report by Microsoft Corp.

Who's ahead: Microsoft Corp.'s .NET or Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java Platform Enterprise Edition?

Microsoft Corp. announced this morning that the High Performance Clustering (HPC) Server 2008 has been released -- both to manufacturing and the general public.

When it comes to data mining and predictive analytics, Microsoft Corp. might not be the first company that comes to mind.

That could change, however, especially if Donald Farmer, Redmond's principal program manager for SQL Server Data Mining, has his way.
