Matthew writes: A Spokesperson for Microsoft today confirmed the company’s long term follow-on product name for .NET Server. To be referred to as .LIP Server, the product is the first major developtment to be named in the wake of the companies recent Buzzworthy Computing initiative.
“.LIP Server delivers on the promise of promise itself. With this archictiture, we’ll be years ahead of where we are now.” Microsoft has confirmed a 2006 release date for the server product.
Chief Software Architect Bill Gates had this to say about .LIP: “We don’t have the user-centricity until we understand context, which is way beyond presence–presence is the most trivial notion of context.” An aide clarified that sentence as “.LIP Embraces what we delivered with .NET and extends it into the Enterprise.”
Microsoft has registered a proposal with ICANN to host a .LIP tld to become the premier virtual marketspace for .LIP related services and information.
Subject:Delayed Release?
It is my understanding the confirmed release date is scheduled to be delayed sometime second quarter of 2005 dependent upon how far ahead of themselves Microsoft developers actually get.
I also understand French, German, and a little Esperanto if anyone is interested.
