MICROSOFT ONLINE BANKING STRATEGY Microsoft announced that 58 financial institutions have committed to offering online banking using Microsoft Money through a group of leading banking-software vendors and banking-processing companies. To further help banks build their online-banking services, Microsoft is readying software-component technology for performing secure, ATM-like transactions using popular World Wide Web browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. These tools to facilitate browser-based banking are scheduled to be available by the end of the year. In addition, the Microsoft Windows NT Server network operating system includes embedded support for Internet publishing, helping facilitate an end-to-end Internet banking solution.
