Microsoft wants to get devices talking | |

| Time: 04:22 EST/09:22 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

The software maker is devoting several discussion panels at its Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Seattle to outline its plans for a new programming interface to allow Windows software to talk to various devices using Web services. According to its conference agenda, the Web services for devices API (WSDAPI) builds on previous Web services standards such as the Web Service-Devices profile, and works within PC software and in embedded applications. Also, as previously reported, Microsoft plans next week to release an updated preview of Longhorn, the next major version of Windows, which is still in its early stages of development. Microsoft has said it will likely be early 2005 before a full beta version of the software is ready and the company has an internal goal of releasing the software by the middle of 2006. The software maker released the initial developer preview version of the software at a conference last fall. | ||
