Security in Longhorn will be better when the new operating system is released in 2006 than security in Windows XP, which debuted in 2001 -- or so Microsoft has promised. How much better though, is a matter of how effective Microsoft, as well as Longhorn users, will be at staying one step ahead of the hackers that will surely be gunning for Longhorn vulnerabilities. For I.T. managers planning for Longhorn deployment, the key security factor is the great unknown -- anticipating future vulnerabilities that right now are a glint in the evil eye of hackers. All I.T. can do for now is to upgrade existing systems in anticipation of Longhorn's arrival.

How Microsoft Is Clipping Longhorn


How Microsoft Is Clipping Longhorn 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
Never in its history has Microsoft (MSFT ) had to wait so long between Windows releases. When Windows XP launched in October, 2001, researcher Gartner Inc. expected the software giant to gin up a new version within two years. But Microsoft's ambitious follow-up to Windows XP, code-named Longhorn, has bogged down in delays. The company rarely discloses timelines for products, lest it miss its targets. But in copies of two e-mail messages obtained by BusinessWeek, Microsoft lays out a roadmap that shows Longhorn debuting in the first six months of 2006.

What's more, the e-mails disclose Microsoft's plans to cut some of the most far-reaching pieces of Longhorn in order to get the product shipped. For instance, Microsoft had planned to overhaul the file system, the way information is stored. The goal had been to change the way files relate to one another, so that users could quickly find documents, e-mail, and photos that have some connection to one another. It would be easy, for example, to locate not just digital photos, but e-mail from people in them. It's an enormous undertaking.

Microsoft to ship Longhorn with RSS


Microsoft to ship Longhorn with RSS 06/24/2005 06:55 PM

Microsoft on Friday announced its intention to fully support the RSS Web publishing standard in its next generation version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, along with plans to help application developers more easily create RSS-enabled applications for Windows.

Officials said the company is proposing its own Simple List extensions to RSS that will better allow the technology to support ordered lists of information. Presently, RSS feeds are sent and received as streams of messages with their order being determined only by the time they were sent. Microsoft's extensions are reportedly offering a way to add ordering information so RSS feeds can more intelligently handle, for instance, a Web site's list of best-selling items.

"The RSS [Simple List] extensions we are developing can allow a content publisher to enable a Web site to publish feeds that represent ordered lists of items. We will make these extensions widely available to developers through the Creative Commons [license]," said Megan Kidd, a group product manager on the Windows team.

Microsoft has already done some "baseline work at the platform level" that supports a range of basic functions that are contained in all applications that support RSS, which should help lighten their overall development effort.

"RSS feeds now come through Weblogs but it will go way beyond that. For instance, if you are at a conference and go to that Web site, subscribe to a feed that has all the conference information, you can have an RSS feed right into your calendar application like Outlook that will automatically update you on all changes being made at the conference like keynotes and sessions," Kidd said.

Some industry observers were encouraged not only by Microsoft's endorsement of the technology, but also because the software giant appears uninterested in dominating the technology and is being proactive in trying to help create commercial opportunities for other application developers.

"When Microsoft would talk about embracing and extending a technology, many would interpret that as engulfing and devouring. In this case, they seem to be really going out of their way to talk about extending but not co-opting this technology. The fact they are releasing this under the Creative Commons License, the same license that RSS is released under, is a pretty big deal in and of itself," said Michael Gartenberg, a vice president and research director at Jupiter Research.

Another upside for Microsoft, according to Gartenberg and others, is that the inclusion of RSS in Longhorn, along with the commitment to help ISVs create compatible applications, is that it builds more interest around Longhorn among developers and users, something the upcoming product needs.

"This should get developers a little more pumped up over Longhorn," Gartenberg said.

The downside about the move however, is that many smaller developers with RSS technologies will have the added pressure of having to be more innovative with their applications in order to stay ahead of much larger developers as RSS-based products become more of a commodity.

Asked about Microsoft's plans to incorporate RSS support into its upcoming Office 12 suite of desktop applications, Kidd said, "you can expect to see some functionality with Outlook," but that the company has yet to formulate any specific plans.

Microsoft will also make it easier for users to discover feeds within their browsers by illuminating icons that allow them to easily see what RSS feeds are available to them at any given moment. The company will also allow users to view the feed live from within the browser, which Kidd said is not available today.

"They will be able to actually see the feed, pick the one they want to subscribe to. We want to make it a one click experience," Kidd said.

Microsoft is expected to make the announcement Friday at the Gnomedex conference in Seattle.

    Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft


    Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft 12/30/2004 02:26 PM
    Partners first heard whispers about Longhorn, the innovative next-generation of Windows with a completely new kernel, way back in 2002 or earlier. It was supposed to be in beta in 2003. Didn't happen. This year, Microsoft finally 'fessed up about its Longhorn travails, and in the process unveiled some significant technical compromises it would make to get the operating system out the door for its official release date of late 2006 (for the client) and late 2007 (for the server).

    The compromise in question is the decision to take Longhorn to market sans its most heralded, new feature, WinFS (Windows File System). WinFS is a unified file system that would sport innovative search capabilities that make retrieving an array of desktop system file types much simpler. Apparently, developing WinFS is anything but simple, however, and certainly not easy enough to do by the first release of Longhorn. To soften the blow, Microsoft has promised to deliver two other key Longhorn components, the Web services/communications subsystem Indigo and the graphics subsystem Avalon, in the first iteration of the OS. In addition to that, Indigo and Avalon will also be released as individual components for use on existing Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 machines. The intent is to let developers and integrators at least get started with some elements of the technology, and it's a decision that many partners have applauded.

    MICROSOFT will tackle the growing fear of identity theft in its upcoming version of Windows, codenamed Longhorn, with a technology it calls ‘info-cards’, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The scheme bears a resemblance to the Passport scheme Microsoft tried reasonably unsuccessfully to introduce to its online services like MSN and Hotmail, as it relies on users being willing to hand over their personal data to 'trusted' companies. Info-cards, said the Journal, will allow users to "selectively disclose information about themselves to businesses or others online". The software will store users’ personal information such as credit-card numbers or phone numbers and allow data to be transferred in an encrypted form "that can be decoded only by trusted Web sites".

That said, Microsoft isn't going to go away, in this author's opinion.

    Don Box, co-author of SOAP, gives similar advice in the above link:

    • Read fewer specifications,
    • write more applications,
    • write less code by using tools that generate code automatically,
    • and remember that humans matter, so if you must write a specification, make it legible.

    And John's advice is: "You can be hasty, but keep a backup!"

    Wait on Atom


    Wait on Atom 01/07/2004 04:59 PM

    My recomendation is to wait on Atom until some killer usage is identified.  I haven't seen one - yet.

    And it's really refreshing to read Ross Rader's honest assesment of rdf.  No technology deserves sacred cow status. It's aput up or shut up world.  RDF puts up with FOAF, but I don't know of any otehr usages where it really justifies itself.

    Maybe soon........

     

    Deprecat ing RSS Part II. Lockergnome drove some traffic to my entry about Blogware's RSS support that led to some interesting comments. TheRoss in dicated that we should probably just settle on one...but didn't make it easy to pick which one1 :)

    Winston took a slightly different tack - let users choose for themselves and avoid taking a religiou s position. I'm not sure I buy this. I mean, I get the sentiment - giving users control over how things get done is never a bad thing, but I'm left wondering if, in this case, that would be akin to letting the user pick which language we write the application in. Isn't it enough to allow them to specify whether or not they would like their particular blog to offer a syndication function to their readers? RSS might be a brand, but I'm not sure that publisher-users have the same loyalty to RSS 2.0 as they would to Tide?

    Dave Winer, RSS 2.0 chieftain, chimed in with a feature request indicating that he'd like to see Blogware support the "...guid, comments, pubDate, and if possible, category" in our RSS 2.0 feeds. Done, done, done and done. We've been that way since the beginning, hopefully it does make things easier for various aggregators in the way that Dave suggests.

    Through the discussion it became clear that there really is no "right" answer and also that no one really seems to give a rats-ass if we continue supporting 0.91. I suppose the bigger question is whether or not we build in support for ATOM. The problem with ATOM is that "its not just about feeds anymore". To do it right, I have to rip out a whole whack of code that deals with trackbacks, remote posting and feed generation and rewrite it to suport ATOM. We could also choose to only support a subset of the spec, but I'm more inclined to wait for an answer to the question of "why?" Why should we care about ATOM?

    At this point, I honestly don't think that anything is going to change. Keeping 0.91 feeds in the UI doesn't cost us anything and users aren't going apeshit with support calls because we offer them three syndication options. And as far as Atom goes, well...we'll see I suppose.

    1As an aside, I'm not sure what TheRoss means when he says "if you value RDF"...I don't tend to value technology in the way that I think he's implying I might. If they are useful to me, then I value them, but I don't think that they are sacred cows in the sense of "standards must be preserved at all costs"...this aside is turning into a post of its own...to me, RDF (RSS 1.0) is simply an open agreed upon standard very similar to the standards that have gone through the IETF process whereas RSS 2.0 is a widely used pseudo-defacto "standard" that sits on a publicly documented specification - much more similar to open source software. In both cases, as an implementor, I have the option not to comply with the details that I think I know better about. It results in a non-standard implementation, or perhaps a fork, but the dynamics and risks associated with this type of behavior are well understood by the open (code/standard) communities. In any event, my point is that open standards/code only get my respect insofar as they deserve it. The fact that we didn't create our own syndication or publication specification should serve to speak to the degree that we support the current "standards".)

    In 1988, when I arrived for my first day of work at BYTE, I was shown to my cubicle. On the desk was an IBM AT with two megabytes of extended memory. DOS extenders were just coming into vogue, and the ultimate DOS extender -- Windows 3.0 -- was still 18 months in the future. What to do with all that extra RAM? I installed OS/2 1.0. To have a multitasking and multithreaded operating system, right on my desktop, for my own personal use, seemed an incredible luxury. There weren't any native apps yet, and the Presentation Manager GUI wasn't available, so the benefits were purely theoretical. But it was fun to imagine what the future would bring: a system that was always responsive, and would never make me wait. ...

    But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix


    But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
    Yesterday, I wrote about how Blockbuster's Netflix-copycat offering seeme d pretty weak in that it didn't do anything more than Netflix and didn't really leverage their stores at all. Oddly, it appears they held back on a bigger announcement for one day. Now, comes the news that Microsoft and Blockbuster are teaming up to offer downloadable movies among other things, as part of the effort. Netflix has said in the past that they'll eventually offer downloadable movies, but this is one way that Blockbuster can go a bit further out of the gate. Of course, that would be true if the offering were any good -- but unfortunately, it looks like they're just bundling the incredibly weak CinemaNow offering, which has been described as "annoyin g to use," "agonizingly slow," and having a "pathetically thin selection." Not particularly enticing. The MSN/Blockbuster link will also let people buy tickets to movies. Basically, they're setting up a system so that you can watch movies any way you want -- download, delivered by mail, picked up at store, or in that (oh yeah) theater place. This strikes me as a bit more interesting, but the implementation appears pretty weak. Still, it might be cool if they started to combine these features. For example, they could give discounts to those who saw a certain movie in the theater, so they could get that movie on DVD later. Or, perhaps let anyone buying tickets to a remake freely download the original version. The movie industry still seems to be missing out on the fact that movies are more of a social experience, and they should think up ways to use the content to encourage more group movie activities. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen, as the main focus seems to be on making sure they get paid for each and every movie, rather than looking at the bigger picture.
