Microsoft on Monday launched new tools for linking its Office desktop software into its growing .Net Web services plan.
The company posted two tools for free download on its Web site: the Office XP Web Services Toolkit and the Smart Tag Enterprise Resource Toolkit. Both tools let developers link Office, which controls more than 90 percent of the desktop business software market, into Web services developed using .Net. .Net is Microsoft's overarching plan for Web services. It includes links to Microsoft's online properties such as MSN and bCentral--a Web site focused on small businesses--and new tools and software that business customers can buy to create their own Web services. Ultimately, the plan will encompass Microsoft's all-important transition from dependence on one-time sales of software and upgrades to a more stable source of revenue based on recurring subscription fees through .Net My Services, a group of subscription services aimed at individuals.
