“Copier firm Xerox Corp. set a technology and product alliance
with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT – news) that would make it easy
to connect Xerox digital copiers to computer networks running
Microsoft software, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

“The agreement dictates that Microsoft and Xerox will design
software applications together at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research
Center, the newspaper said, quoting sources familiar with the
project.”

“… Xerox will build its digital copiers around Microsoft’s
Windows NT operating system, replacing Unix-compatible software now
found inside its mid-range line of copiers, the newspaper
said.”
