Feds Say No Go on Oracle-PeopleSoft Deal
02/12/2004 11:20 AMJustice lawyers against Oracle's bid for
PeopleSoft: This throws a wrench in the gears.
Justice Department lawyers are recommending that Oracle's
(ORCL) hostile takeover bid for business software rival PeopleSoft
(PSFT) be blocked for antitrust reasons, a step that could kill the
proposed $9.4 billion deal before shareholders get a chance to vote on
it.

Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft
12/30/2004 02:26 PMPartners 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 to ship Longhorn with RSS
Microsoft to ship Longhorn with RSS
06/24/2005 06:55 PMMicrosoft 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.

How Microsoft Is Clipping Longhorn
04/09/2004 03:57 PMNever 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 use Longhorn to secure Web
03/28/2005 11:01 AMMICROSOFT 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".

thank goodness Windows XP is performing the way it is because I
remember when they released that abortion of a operating system called
Windows ME. I wonder if Longhorn will end up being like ME. [Dan Gillmor]
