Microsoft's Zocher talks up Expression
When you own as much of the world’s operating system market as Microsoft does, even small changes to your platform become immensely complicated in practice. For evidence of that, just consider Microsoft Expression, a line of design tools for creating 3D visuals, animation, and video clips on both Windows and Web applications. Expression is all about giving application developers and Web designers tools to take advantage of new graphics capabilities in Windows Vista, such as WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). But Expressions has raised as many questions as it has answered: Is it an application development tool or a Web design tool? Is it Microsoft’s answer to Adobe’s Flash? Eric Zocher, general manager of the Microsoft Expression product line, chatted with InfoWorld Editor at Large Paul Krill to sort out Expression fact from fiction.

Microsoft and Novell go kablooey, Second Life gets gooey
Britney and K-Fed. J. Lo and P. Diddy. Microsoft and Novell. The marriage made in Open Source Hell may yet dissolve in public bickering over who left those dirty Linux patents on the bathroom floor. Microsoft believes its $440 million buys it an exclusive relationship with all flavors of Linux, whereas Novell sees the deal as more of an open arrangement.

Content? That’s anything you’re capable of holding in your brain for even a nanosecond. IT is not a department or a group of people. It’s a smart phone. It’s a room full of SPARC servers. A telephone headset? A keyboard? I don’t know. They’re new terms. We’ll work that out as we go. I do know that if we didn’t have such things, information technology would be inaccessible.
