MapPoint .NET Name Change to MapPoint Web Service | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Direct Company E-Mail | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Dear ActiveWin: I want to notify you about Microsoft’s name change of MapPoint .NET to MapPoint Web Service. This change is to better reflect our Web service offerings for location enabled mobile applications and services, Web sites, and enterprise applications. This change supports Microsoft’s overall effort to clarify the naming and branding strategy around .NET. As support for Web services becomes intrinsic across our entire product line, we are moving toward a consistent naming and branding strategy to better enable partners to affiliate with this strategy and customers to identify .NET enabled products. As you may know, all Microsoft products will adopt the new branding convention for .NET to reflect the version number in the proper names of products, and include the use of “.NET Connected” branding. | ||

No apostrophes? Then what is that between the "t" and "s" in "Microsoft�s"?
Clearly you don't know what you're talking about, #1. They're not backing off of .NET, they're just trying to calm down the confusion that the press has over what, exactly, .NET is. The press thinks .NET is everything from Hailstorm to just another BackOffice rename to the .NET Framework -- Java killer. Anyhow, if any product should keep the .NET moniker, I think it would be this. It's a web service and SDK intended for .NET development, right? |

Apostrophes: What encoding are you using? You must be using extended characters that don't fit within UTF-8.
If you're typing english, and the page is encoded in UTF-8 (which this page is by default, IIRC), then you shouldn't have any problems. It appears to be a bug in Mozilla's text encoding code. For this page, however, in UTF-8, it should be character-code 0x27, but I'm not sure what "�" is. As for .NET confusion, the confusion was largely in the press, but MS didn't help matters by making the naming requirements for .NET loose. .NET was an overall strategy, not just the .NET Framework SDK. It was a framework of web services, XML, business integration, etc, etc, etc. However, the press didn't grok that and would confuse and butcher everything related to .NET, so MS decided that they would simplify things and limit .NET to those products directly built from or containing a majority of .NET Framework CLI code. -d |
