revisited 11/16/2003 08:29 PM
"Which brings me to what I think is the biggest myth about Netscape, which is that they were a great engineering company. They were a crappy engineering company. Their web server software, which had the biggest potential for earning revenue, was so bad that it got no traction even though for a couple of years there was no meaningful competition. The Netscape web site did not even use Netscape's proprietary scripting language--the Netscape webmasters could not deal with all the bugs. The company would not even eat its own dogfood."

Interesting perspective.

WSE 2.0 SP1 simplifies the development and deployment of secure Web services by enabling developers and administrators to more easily apply security policies on Web services running on the .NET Framework. Using WSE, Web services communication can be signed and encrypted using Kerberos tickets, X.509 certificates, username/password credentials, and other custom binary and XML-based security tokens. In addition, an enhanced security model provides a policy-driven foundation for securing Web services across trust domains. WSE also supports the ability to establish a trust-issuing service for retrieval and validation of security tokens, as well as the ability to establish more efficient long-running secure communication via secure conversations.

Microsoft Focusing Office Suite On Web

Microsoft Focusing Office Suite On Web
Services 08/22/2004 03:16 PM
Microsoft, seeing it's growth beginning to slow in the office sector, plans to reinvent the way people work, communicate and collaborate on projects by retuning it's Office Suite toward web services.

"Office defines business productivity," Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, told financial analysts in July. "The productivity area is probably the most important franchise that we have." Microsoft is banking on the Office initiative to help it fend off the challenge from open source software and other competitors.

"Microsoft is trying to make Office less a product and more like an online service," said Nate Root, an analyst for Forrester Research. "Adoption is going to be slow because Microsoft is trying to change the paradigm. It's a fundamental cultural change in how people think of and use Office." Because the next version of Windows, called Longhorn, may not ship until 2007, analysts say, the Office overhaul is needed in the meantime to deliver more Web services technology to the desktop. The new capabilities in the Office system are also needed to lure software developers to create more applications that run on Microsoft products.

Challengers like Sun Microsystems' StarOffice, OpenOffice.org and the Open Source Applications Foundation offer free or very inexpensive alternatives to Microsoft's Office programs. At the same time, Microsoft faces strong competitors in the collaboration field. IBM (NYSE: IBM) , for example, has sold Web conferencing, Web-based work spaces and other software for years, and leads in some market segments.
