Windows .NET Server Beta 3 Provides Foundation for Web Services | |
|
||
| Time: 11:20 EST/16:20 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates last night announced in his keynote speech at COMDEX Fall 2001 that Microsoft Corp.'s beta 3 of its next-generation Windows® server family would be made available to beta testers later this month. The company will be releasing four new servers, including a single-purpose Web server intended to vastly simplify and speed up the processes of configuring and deploying Web sites and front-end Web applications. The lineup is the next step in the evolution of the Microsoft® family of powerful server solutions, and is the first to integrate native support for XML Web services and the Microsoft .NET Framework, enabling businesses to efficiently develop powerful Web service applications. The new generation of Windows servers provides the foundation for Microsoft's platform for Web services based on XML, allowing applications to communicate and share data over the Internet while integrating with a variety of operating systems or programming languages. | ||

| That was a great comment to start a flame war. |

Would be kind of curious to see what this Web Server offering supports and/or limits.
I have my asbestos suit on in case this erupts into a flamewar. :) |

#5. Hmm, MSPaint is actually quite useful on a server.
Now I will agree that 3D screen savers are bad since they consume 100% of the CPU and should never be used. |

| #6. Hey, that looks good. This is a great thing! |

#10 - They do, but you have to look for it. :-) Try MSDN.microsoft.com for starters.
Most CIO's and CTO's listen to hype crap over real stuff... they leave that to their underlings. :-) |

I read MSDN on a daily basis and I think Microsoft could do a much better job of explaining the new features of its products. I suppose a person who has the patience to read the platform SDK's could likely find out most of what is new, but there should be an easier way.
Instead of wininformant, betanews, activewin, etc. with "the latest news" on Microsoft's products, Microsoft should publish news on its own. For instance, betaproducts.microsoft.com could be a site that would list the latest codenames and betas, builds and release candidates and change info from one to another. Maybe if I were an "official" beta tester, I'd discover that this info already exists, but isn't publically available. I work for a Microsoft Certified Partner, and I can say that they don't make such info available to us. Also, I am a CTO and the hype annoys me. :-) I realize, though, that only in a small company does a CTO actually do developing as well as managing. |

| Not so sure I agree with that #13. I find a great similarity in media hype from most software vendors. Of all those willing to give information, Microsoft seems the most liberal - of all that I have dealt with. If I wouldn't want to bother with it, then I probably wouldn't be interested in technology at all, which surely isn't the case. :-) |
