| Microsoft expands online software services
Microsoft Corp. is expanding its business software offerings over the internet. The new services include e-mail, calendars, contact lists, webconferencing and videoconferencing. They are online versions of features in Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint software. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) launched the web services in September for businesses with more than 5,000 users. The company is now expanding the services to all companies, with a limited test run starting Monday and a broader rollout planned for the second half of 2008. Microsoft's core business is still traditional licensed software. But under pressure from companies like Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM) that are making software programs available online, Microsoft is shifting some of its software offerings to the web.

Wind farms could drive bird species to extinction
Since 1941, conservation groups have painstakingly built the whooping crane population back up to around 360 in the wild and 150 in captivity. Whooping cranes migrate annually between wetlands on the coast of Texas and the Northwest Territories in Canada, flying a route that corresponds to the corridor wind companies are eying for their huge turbines as their industry expands. That expansion was given a boost last week when the US House of Representatives voted to extend tax incentives for developers of the renewable power source. Non-profit organization Audubon, a nature conservancy group with a focus on birds, also urged that wind energy not be allowed to develop unchecked. "We're very much in favor of wind power because we're so concerned about the other sources of energy that are contributing to global warming," said Greg Butcher, Audubon's director of bird conservation.
