Microsoft Details Internet Plans: The software company said it will buy a minority stake in Falls Church, Va.-based Uunet Technologies Inc., a major provider of access to the Internet computer network. Separately, Microsoft Corp. said it has licensed a popular Internet browsing software called Mosaic from Spyglass Inc. of Naperville, Ill. The two moves are part of the software giant’s plan to provide full Internet access at the touch of a button through its Microsoft Network on-line service, which is expected to be launched later this year. The ability to offer hassle-free connection to the mammoth, loosely organized Internet is quickly becoming a competitive selling point among commercial on-line services.
