InfoPath Instant Love

Clemens Vasters seems to really dig InfoPath … some good quotes:

“On the surface, InfoPath is “just” a forms editor that allows you to build editable Forms for XML Schema, Web Services and Databases very quickly. From a technology perspective that’s very cool in itself, but the way InfoPath hides all of that behind its UI will simply make you say “Well, yes, that’s how it should be”. It’s really a no-nonsense data-capture and data-presentation centric variation of what could have been yet another feature of FrontPage that few people would have ever noticed, just because it’s UI is so simple. It’s all Office.”

Windows Update keeps tabs on all system software

SecurityFocus: “Evidence obtained by German hardware site tecChannel suggests a list of software installed on an XP machine is sent to Microsoft when users run Windows Update.” (via BoingBoing)

I’m not really surprised by this, because technically this is how I thought Windows Update works. However, I’d have to read MSFT’s privacy policy for Windows Update to actually get a handle on what they intend to do with this information, but at least they are encrypting the data before it hit the wire.

Video Blogging

Slashdot thread discussing the MSNBC article on Video Blogs.

This quote from the thread from PyroMosh sums it up for me: “Of course Video Blogs aren’t the wave of the future. At least not the near future. It would be high bandwidth instead of low, it wouldn’t be easily searchable or easy to catalog. It’s an order of magnitude harder to do with no tangible benefits except for a little bit of “cool factor”.”
