| Microsoft Corp has agreed to change 
its new Windows XP operating 
system to make it easier for users to access the Eastman Kodak digital camera 
software and services they have installed on their computers. The change also 
would make it easier to launch any other third-party photo editing software on a  computer. Windows XP is set for release in October. Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak complained that an early version failed to automatically direct Kodak camera 
owners to a list where they could easily access Kodak's photo printing services 
when they plug their digital camera into their computers. Under an agreement to 
be announced Monday, Microsoft will change the presentation of options on a 
digital camera connection from a drop-down menu to a list of third-party digital 
photo applications. |
