Paradigm shift on Vista / Longhorn trail

by John on September 16th, 2005

Web 2.0 “thin client” computing is being deftly smothered by Microsoft’s use of RSS 2.0 as a paradigmic connection technology across all its platforms, including Windows Vista.

Dana Gardner at ZDNet writes :

Microsoft is using RSS 2.0 as a major conduit of myriad content ~ including business-to-business applications interactions ~ inside, across, and for wide area import/export of feeds throughout its software systems. Remember the digital nervous system? Well, RSS just became a new variety of spine.

Dean Hachamovitch, a Microsoft General Manager in the browsing and RSS fields, confirms this pervasive use of RSS : “The browser here is incidental. It’s not about the browser, it’s about the platform.”
