Microsoft Kills 'Tiger' (11/19/96; 4:38 p.m. EST) By Shawn Willett, Computer Reseller News Las Vegas -- According to Microsoft officials, the company's "Tiger" video server has been killed quietly. Richard Tong, marketing manager for Microsoft's desktop and systems business division, said there will no longer be a product for video serving, either for specialized applications within cable companies or for consumers. But Microsoft is taking the technologies from Tiger and putting them into NetShow and other Microsoft multimedia products. Tong also said that Microsoft will put services in Windows NT 5.0, which will allow the operation of "thin clients" such as Microsoft's network PC. The services will allow the thin clients to execute most applications and store most files on the server rather than the client. Tong also reiterated statements from a Microsoft spokesperson last week, admitting the company will not come out with a new browser version every six months. "It's definitely getting harder," said Tong. "And most companies really hate it. The feedback we get from a lot of people is that it's just too fast. So instead, we want to componentize the browser and put those [components] out there as soon as we can."
