Microsoft Plots Windows Server Roadmap to 2010
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

A few weeks ago, at the WinHEC conference in Seattle, the top brass at Microsoft actually committed to bringing out a "Longhorn" kicker to the current Windows Server 2003 operating system. They danced around about the server roadmap a bit. Last week, Bob Muglia, the senior vice president of the Windows Server Division, was on a press tour and sketched out Microsoft's server roadmap with a bit more detail. READ MORE >

 

Commerce Server 2002 Gets Feature Pack
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Microsoft this week rolled out Feature Pack 1 for Commerce Server 2002, one of the core components of the Windows Server System.

by Alex Woodie

Jacada this week introduced WinFuse, a new integration tool for exposing as Web services the data and processes housed in Windows-based client/server applications. The company, which spent three years developing the software, says WinFuse is the first product of its kind to provide message-level integration for a large swath of the sprawling collection of legacy Windows applications in use for which there are no clean APIs or other good integration points.

As I See It: Ricardo's Law
by Victor Rozek

Almost 200 years ago, British economist David Ricardo, Adam Smith's successor in England's economic esteem, had a momentous insight about the cost of labor. "The natural price of labor," he declared, "is that price which is necessary to enable the laborers to subsist and to perpetuate their race, without either increase or diminution." To put it another way, if it didn't have to, a company would pay a worker no more than the amount required to feed him and beget his replacement.
