. NET makes a new generation of internet become reality (2)

Microsoft. NET: Beyond browsing, beyond the site

Microsoft is creating a new generation of advanced computer software that revolutionized computing and communications technology, providing developers with the tools to transform networks and other computing technologies. We call this innovation Microsoft. NET, which for the first time enables developers, businesses, and consumers to apply science and technology to their own volition. Microsoft?. NET will create a truly distributed network service that integrates and coordinates a large number of assistive programs to provide consumers with unique services--and that's what today's web sites are dreaming of. Microsoft?. NET will drive the development of a new generation of Internet. It will really allow people to get information at any time, any place, through any device.

Microsoft. The basic idea behind NET is to stop focusing on individual websites and individual devices connected to the Internet, but to have all the computer groups, related devices and service providers work together to provide a broader and richer range of solutions. People will be able to control what information, when and how to transmit it to themselves. Computer groups, related equipment and service providers will be able to collaborate with each other to provide a more diverse range of services, rather than an isolated island like today, where users provide the only integration. Consumers will be able to integrate the products and services provided by the enterprise into their electronic device structure. The advent of personal computers for the first time in the 1980s gave people the right to information autonomy, while Microsoft? NET is another kind of prospect, is another extension of this kind of autonomy right.

Microsoft. NET will promote a change in the Internet, the presentation of HTML format will be upgraded to XML-formatted programmable information. XML is a standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (WWW) that is widely supported by the industry, and the alliance also has a web browser standard. In the process of development, Microsoft has given full support, but this technology is not Microsoft proprietary. XML is a way of separating real data from its visual representation. It's a key technology for a new generation of internet, is a way to "liberate" information so that information can be organized, programmed, and edited; it is also a new way of thinking to send data to a variety of digital devices in a more useful form; It allows Web sites to collaborate with each other and provide a range of interactive new Web services.

The Microsoft.NET contains the following components:

Microsoft. NET platform--contains. NET infrastructure and tools to run a new generation of service programs; the. NET user experience supports richer clients;. NET Architecture module, a new generation of highly distributed hyper-service; and. NET device software to support a new type of intelligent Internet device.

Microsoft. NET products and services-contains Windows. NET with core construction module services; Msn?. NET; Personal subscription service; Office. NET; Visual Studio?. NET; and bcentral? For. NET.

Third parties. NET Services-many Microsoft business partners and third party developers will have the opportunity to create a base. NET Platform for enterprise software and vertical service programs.

Microsoft. NET will bring computing and communication into a rich, cooperative and interactive environment, much better than today's one-way network. Microsoft, supported by the new advanced software. NET uses a range of applications, service programs, and related devices to create a personalized digital experience that can be automatically adjusted to the needs of yourself, your family, and your company. It means that you will be able to manage your life and work in the Internet age through a whole new set of software services.

For consumers, Microsoft. NET means simplifying the overall service; Unified information browsing, editing and authorization; Viewing your data, work and online and offline media; a holistic system solution; personalization at anytime, absolute freedom. For example, any changes to your personal information-whether through a personal computer, a portable device, or a smart card-will be notified instantly and automatically to all the places where this information is needed.

For knowledge workers and businesses, Microsoft. NET means unified information browsing, editing and authorization, rich synchronous communication, close mobile communication, powerful information management and electronic commerce tools, flexible switching between service programs based on intranet and Internet, providing support for the era of dynamic business partnership.

For independent software developers, Microsoft. NET means that they will be given more opportunities to create new, more advanced services for the Internet age-they can automatically obtain and utilize the information they need locally or remotely, and work through any language and any device without having to rewrite the program for different working environments. Everything on the internet has become a potential building block for this new generation of service programs, and each application can be used online.

Microsoft. NET's prospects mean a liberation for consumers, businesses, software developers and the industry as a whole. It means the release of all the potential of the Internet and the freedom to roam on the internet.
