RE: Creating Innovation on the Internet - Register NOW !
Windows in the cloudy sky:
What Microsoft wants to do is control the servers with a MS provided next, next generation NT platform operating system called XML but not open and universal.
The .net system works with devices that have .net codes built it. Microsoft products will run on .net as a server - client interface - XML files, XML data base, XML storage, XML index, id, calendar, updates, notifications, out in the cloud on MS XML server software doing object imbedded codes.
The applications become notations or services on the page.
The universal canvas API. Hardware drives, across all the devices and the .net controller in the a cloud. Development applications are built on the XML kits connected to the browser. This was Netscape’s vision from the beginning.. This is why MS had to kill Netscape and the NOISE group and what the browser wars was really about.
The platform is in the sky - Microsoft idea is the new version of what Netscape and SUN - the NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun, and Everyone else ) started talking about five years ago.
The server ( web site ) company internets, the ISP, wireless devices, i-appliances, game panels, can all use audio, video, photograph, office applications - word process, presentation, spread sheets, data bases, in a interactive way using a server AGENT or personalized options given the application, the device used, and the pattern of application - on a rental or fee-for-service basics. In other words all the complex stuff is up stream - rich standards based on XML works between platforms and programs but at the server not on the PC - This is the critical and profound change.
The server in the cloud does the transfer and integration - is the platform in the sky that can work with all kinds of devices. It can take a record from one place in one format and uses it in another program in a different format guided by the smart agent. Information can be used almost anywhere from almost anywhere.
The devices can use keyboards, mouse, voice, hand writing, file transfer, clip board, as inputs as well as agent intelligence on the server and user interface.
Not news - cloudy vision part two :

Gates for the first time emphasized the Web browser as the central application of computing. Echoing remarks made by counterparts Marc Andreessen and Scott McNealy four years ago, Gates said the network is even more important than the computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/topics/f2k/default.asp
Microsoft is creating an advanced new generation of software that will meld computing and communications in revolutionary new ways; offer every developer the tools to transform the Web and all other aspects of the computing experience; and enable businesses, knowledge workers and consumers to employ technology on their own terms.

What do you think.
How do we get in on the Gold Rush ?
Technology is going to make the world around us smart
as we move away from proprietary architectures to a standards-based
ecology of information.
We still need a name for the UCD: UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE
or "information - communications - appliance - utility-
network computer, cable or wireless black box modem ( or digital connection to replace the analog ), play station,
boom box, CD, DVD, telephone, wireless, cordless, portable, TV,
radio, pager, laptop, notebook, library, GPS, map, yellow pages,
combat walk and talk and call in air strikes more".
The market for the bandwidth and the appliances is
global - with billions of clients world wide.
The money is in software now moving from "programs" to
content.
The content will be interactive media that includes
program functions. ISP such as AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail
as a word processor that can handle graphics, photographs, soon
video and data files.
The browser becomes a universal systems
package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
The USB
universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other
appliances and services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge
into a convergence of media and communications services. Time-Warner,
the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are positioning themselves for the
transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of
Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and
a thousand other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and
travel agent, department store, and service center. Wal-mart,
Sears and other may need their own ISP. Clients will pay the ISP
for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware, Internet, credit,
and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from a company
they trust, so it all adds up.
A limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with
the capacities of a play station, will run a package of on demand
utilities called from the network. Once there is a break in the
bandwidth, your browser can quickly call down any packages it may
need - high speed smart updates means you don’t have to have
everything stored. Office systems can do this now but are afraid
to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle, IBM
or others really have high performance objective networks there
will be no need for the bloated windows operation systems.
The market often is as slow as the political process in facing
the inevitable forces of technology and social history. Cartels
and semi-monopolies are the natural outcome of free competition
because organizations can join together to control markets.
The robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th century, such
as Morgan, Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller, Stanford, Dupont
controlled steel and oil, railroads and chemicals. General Motors
president Alfred P. Sloan worked with the du Pont's to control
the auto market. A U.S. Court of Appeals finds that Aluminum Co.
of America (Alcoa) held a 90 percent monopoly in U.S. aluminum
ingot production before the war, a monopoly enjoyed by the
Mellons for more than half a century. See RCA (NBC - Victor )

( Windows/intel )

Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).
American radio and television pioneer who proposed the first
commercial radio receiver and in 1926 formed the National
Broadcasting Company.
The first vinylite phonograph record
appears in October. RCA-Victor issues a new recording of the 1895
Richard Strauss work Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, but
vinylite will not displace shellac until the perfection of long-playing
records (see 1948).
Peter,
This was lucid and clear. Keep it up and you may be able
to bring others into the fold. You traditional "quick cuts" from
concept to concept detracts from your intent so much that many
people think you

I am interested in those that seek the truth and run from those

I attempted to become part of your movement. Remember the
programmer you pointed me to?
The young fellow's poor
communication skills cost me 10 hours and I'm not sure I helped
him... He never bothered even to say "Thanks." You can be sure I
won't make a second attempt.
Now, suppose I'd invested 10 weeks instead of 10 hours. Suppose I
was expecting to pay my mortgage and buy groceries from that
effort... Peter, you'll get a lot of free help as long as this is
all disjointed and friendly, but IF YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD BUSINESS
PRACTICES IN PLACE the day it quits being "for fun" and starts
being "for keeps," you'll disappear like the morning fog. Notice,
I've gone back to referring to "you" and no longer say "/de."

MAKE THE LINK WORKSHOP (WORLD WIDE WEB FOR EVERYONE)
Make the Link Workshop (World Wide Web for Everyone) is an eight
week distance-learning workshop conducted entirely by e-mail. It
introduces the beginner to the World Wide Web (WWW), the
Internet's distributed hypermedia information system, as well as
enhances
the skills of the somewhat more experienced user.
WWW's amazing growth has resulted largely from its ease of use
and power to almost instantaneously transport a rich array of
text,
graphics, sound, programs, etc. to the computer desktop with the
click of a mouse button.
Having a WWW home page providing one's personal information has
become the 1990's version of the business card, resume,
telephone answering machine, and on occasion, electronic
recreation area,
all rolled into one. In fact, WWW provides the opportunity to
participate and collaborate with others at many levels.
The Make the Link Workshop will focus on how to gain maximum
advantage from this simple to use, yet very sophisticated,
Internet tool.
The final Spring session of the Links Workshop is scheduled for
April 1 - May 26, 1996.
The cost of the workshop is $20 US.
To get more information about the workshop, please send e-mail to

NEW: Software for Attentional Deficit Remediation.
Gates talks about the Internet as a gold rush.
There's really no other way to describe the kind of frenzy that's
taking place. Fundamentally, when you have a gold rush
atmosphere, people suspend disbelief. If somebody says hey, I can
do something on the Internet, no matter what it is people are
fairly open minded they want to invest, start a new company, do
an IPO.

Dear Peter,
In your response to the "too much clutter thread" on
the INTDEV-L list. I would appreciate being able to accept your
invitation to "put papers" on your server.
I am looking for a listsever site for past issues of my
newsletter
- - the Mexican Commentary. This will serve as an archive of
information
on company reports, interest rates, exchange rates and prices.
The Mexican commentary is distributed exclusively via the
Internet.
