 MICROSOFT LOOKS TO SPRUCE UP IMAGE: 
                              
 NEW YORK - Microsoft, struggling to spruce up its image, is scaling
 back some of its most criticized practices as it ponders a new public
 relations campaign.
 The software giant is ending controversial provisions in agreements
 with its Internet content providers that prohibited the providers 
 from promoting rivals' products.
 Those alleged exclusionary provisions are one area that the Justice
 Department is investigating in its antitrust suit against Microsoft.
 The company also says it may try to drum up public support by urging
 sympathetic software customers and its own staff to contact the press
 in a public relations blitz.
