Now
Windows Server 2012 from Microsoft
In the lead up to the October release of
Windows 8, Microsoft Corporation(NASDAQ:MSFT) is going to release the first
major update to its server operating system since 2009.
According to the Redmond, Washington
based company, Windows Server 2012 has features that enable easier remote
management of large clusters of servers in data centers. The company is trying
to make the most of the cloud computing trend that has pervaded the industry. This
kind of computing involves spreading out of tasks over several servers that can
be accessed through the Internet.
The last update to the Windows Server
happened in 2009, when the second version of Windows Server 2008 was released. A preview version of Windows Server
2012 was introduced last year.

Possible
new offering pushes down Mannkind’s Shares
In the pharmaceuticals space, shares of MannKind
Corporation(NASDAQ:MNKD) declined on news that it may offer fresh common and
preferred stocks as well as warrants and debt securities. The company which produces
diabetes- related drugs on Friday registered the offering with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. However, such a filing need not always translate to an
actual offering. Even if the offer is made, it can be much lower than the
registered $500 million. As of now, the company has approximately 199 million outstanding
shares.

more studies on the drug in the second quarter of next year and file the same
with the FDA in the third quarter. The shares of the company slumped 6.30% to
$2.53 on Tuesday.
