| 1999 became a banner year for Visio Corp with the occurrence of two major events. First Microsoft Inc. acquired Visio Corp through a merger. Almost at the same time Visio Corp announced the release of Visio 2000. The most advanced form of the program to date. Together the two events combined to take this unparalleled program to even greater heights of success. |

| The merger of Visio Corp with Microsoft Inc was a perfect match. The Visio program already supported Microsoft Office files and formats. The possible incorporation of the Visio program in an upcoming version of the Office suite will be an easy combination for the developers. Visio 2000 also supported and incorporated Microsoft Visual Basic Applications. |

| With the acquisition of Visio Corp, Microsoft now has the premier business programs for every area of business use. Visio 2000 now fills the once empty notch of business drawing program that eluded Microsoft for years. And with several million users of Visio products worldwide, Microsoft gained an even larger share of the business software market. |
