Microsoft apparently is going after the developers that are what they are classifying as nonprofessional programmers. Personally I didn't realize there was such a category of programmers and hopefully they change there wording. Anyway it looks like they are going to releasing a stripped down version of many of their mainstream tools. Also very interestingly they are going to be releasing Express SQL Server 2005 that they hope will compete with MySQL and all of it priced to move. [c|net]

noncompetition pact


Microsoft and Sun agree to historic
noncompetition pact
04/12/2004 01:06 AM

Computing giants Microsoft and Sun announced a pact of noncompetition . Microsoft agreed to pay nearly $2 billion (and perhaps more ) to settle Sun's legal charges concerning unfair competition with their Java language.

Although some details remain to be worked out, speculation about potential effects of the pact is widespread. Gartner posted an analysis suggesting the two may join to expand their combined share of the server market. The future of Java, the powerful and popular language developed by Sun, is uncertain . Additionally, Microsoft has neutralized a powerful opponent , at least for the moment.

Motivations for this pact are various, and much discussed. The combination may be faced against Linux and IBM, as the open source operating system threatens both companies' operations, including Sun's Solaris/SPARC platforms. Financially, Microsoft ends a potentially costly suit, while Sun is dealing with high losses this year.

08/20/2004 04:29 AM
There was an overwhelming outpouring of response to last week's "Do we really need that much new software from Microsoft?" newsletter (see link below). While some of you thought it was a bit anti-Microsoft (e.g., "I think you're blowing your anti-Microsoft rhetoric way out of proportion here...") most of the correspondence came down heavily on the side of fixing - once and for all - the existing services, applications and operating systems. I'll get to some of those comments in a moment, but one thing I mentioned in passing did draw some thoughtful response.

Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for

Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2
(v 2)
05/07/2004 01:56 AM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), currently a Release Candidate in Beta testing, includes significant enhancements to the Windows Firewall component, previously known as the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based firewall that discards unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level of protection for computers against malicious users or programs. To provide better protection for computers connected to any kind of network (such as the Internet, a home network, or an organization network), Windows XP SP2 enables Windows Firewall on all network connections by default. This new behavior can impair some types of communications. This article describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for Windows Firewall on an organization network so that it is enabled and providing protection, and so that communications are not impaired.

Microsoft Corp. today announced public availability of Windows® Rights Management Services (RMS), information protection technology for Windows Server (TM) 2003 that helps enterprises and organizations safeguard their sensitive digital information from unauthorized use. RMS allows information workers to distribute information within their organizations and define how and under what circumstances it can be used, such as when it expires and who can open, modify, print and forward it. The ability to express and enforce document-level protection will allow organizations to internally share information more broadly, with less risk of inadvertent or intentional misuse.

Discover A World of Products That Work

07/12/2004 09:23 AM
Today at its Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft Corp. introduced Windows® Marketplace, an upcoming shopping and downloading site that will provide customers with one-stop access to software, hardware and peripherals that work with the Windows platform. This new offering provides a cost-effective way for participating partners to work with Microsoft and CNET Networks to gain exposure to millions of potential customers through online shopping and electronic software distribution -- all in one place. Windows Marketplace also will make it easy for customers to navigate, find, try and buy thousands of compelling products to meet their needs and enhance their Windows computing experience. Windows Marketplace is scheduled to launch to end-user customers in the United States this fall, but Microsoft is giving partners an early opportunity to get their products into the Marketplace before it becomes available publicly.

Stripped-down XP Heads for South America


Stripped-down XP Heads for South America 04/12/2005 06:10 AM
Brazil is to be the next country where Microsoft launches its Windows XP Starter Edition software. The software giant has confirmed that the programme will be extended tomorrow to the South American country - which is a supported of open-source software.

XP Starter Edition is already offered in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand and is set to be launched in Russia and India later this year. It has a number of limitations over the full version of the software - among them a lower maximum screen resolution and limits on the number of programs which can be run at a time. It was launched in a bid to crack down on piracy and get more people using genuine versions of Windows.

At the moment, the software is not available off-the-shelf, but comes pre-installed on PCs. It has previously been reported that Brazil's government was looking for a wholesale move to Linux-based systems - but Microsoft said it was unaware of being out of the running for government contracts in the country.
