Microsoft, hoping to broaden the appeal of its .Net software plan, is improving links between its products and those of rival Oracle. The new connecting software, released Tuesday, will link Microsoft's .Net Framework to Oracle's database software. The .Net Framework--a crucial piece in Microsoft's .Net Web services software strategy--simplifies and automates many software development tasks and helps software run across multiple servers and computers. Because the .Net Framework has pre-written software code, it can save developers time and eliminate bugs that can occur in building software, Microsoft asserts.
