BUSINESS BRIEFS.(TO THE POINT)
INTERNET
Microsoft-AOL pact shifts rivalries
As part of the Net giants' $750 mil settlement, AOL will use Microsoft technologies such as its media player and Web browser. That could lead to trouble for rivals such as Apple.

RETAIL

Home Depot holders easily re-elected all the firm's directors. Some had opposed co-founder Kenneth Langone amid board independence concerns. He has close ties with NYSE chief Richard Grasso.
