Paul Fallon's Blog - Monday, August 07, 2006

It makes one wonder when you hear that WinFS is to fade into non-existence? 2+ years of mud slinging about the delays with Vista and Longhorn in general, and then the announcement comes that one of the big ticket items that has been lagging for ages is now no longer going to ship as a seperate product!

I especially found the news to be extremely interesting as they were talking about the upcoming release of WinFS Beta 2 at TechEd at few weeks ago? huh?

.NET Framework 3.0 - June 2006 CTP

.NET Framework 3.0 - June 2006 CTP has just been released, which also includes a RC for Windows Workflow Foundation.

Also, its seems while it's not a final WCF RC1 build it does incorporate all the final programming model tweaks that have been planned since/post Beta2.

Has the network effect or the power law hit distributed computing?

Here’s a bit of a mind bender, has the network effect or the power law hit distributed computing? And hit it in an unusual way? And in a way that no one talks about?

The reason I ask, is well ……. have a look at this beast from HP! Does it not change lots of things in distributed computing?

If you were to buy this beast, what type of distributed computing are doing and how does it match up to the box?

If you don’t buy this beast! Are you doing a totally different type of distributed computing?

Has the network effect on Distributed computing created a two tier system of distributed architectures at its highest level? Is the Web the new enterprise?

More later!

and a new era begins.... as the MS CSA transitions from Gates to Ozzie
Will the Web and TechMeme survive the onslaught of folks looking for info. on the monumental news that Bill Gates is to transition from being full time at MS to being full time at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who knows…..

The offical press release is here, but note that this is here also and this is an equally important thing in my view.

Is this a tipping point for the 2–way web? Has it now become as important to engage with the grass roots as it is to engage with those that offically/historally spread “the word”? Interesting times ahead, and even more interesting by how MS has choosen to do it?

ps

For those that think they are in charge, now is the time for you to stand up and learn/listen! “The world is flat” and you have to localise all the way to “me”.
