Microsoft's Goal: DNA Everywhere www5.zdnet.com This reminds me of an old story about Eisenhower being briefed for a press conference, and his press secretary being worried about questions on a sensitive subject of the time, Quemoy and Matsu or something like that. Ike is supposed to have said, "Don't worry about that, Jim, if somebody asks I'll just confuse them." I detect a whiff of vapor in the air here... DNA is the name of the Windows-centric framework of services, interfaces and gateways that Microsoft introduced at its Professional Developers Conference in September. At the core of DNA is Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM). DNA is the underpinning for DNS, the Distributed Nervous System, which is Microsoft's metaphor for Internet/intranet/Extranet-enabled computing. DNA FS is DNA with certain standards and extensions added that are of interest to the financial community, such as OFX (Open Financial Exchange) gateways. At the RD'97 banking conference in New Orleans today, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates announced that the company has signed up 30 software vendors and banks interested in developing applications based on DNA FS. DNA FS is currently little more than a framework design plan, which Microsoft plans to detail in February, 1998, when it holds its first DNA FS design preview in Redmond. A resulting DNA FS software development kit, due to ship before the end of 1998, will allow companies to tailor existing products, such as Internet Explorer, to look like a front-end for ATM systems. And all you got to do is trust Bill. Maybe Microsoft could contract Lere O. Shakunle, from the friendly ACSA, to explain all this with Itsonics. Sounds pretty appropriate: All about Organic System Design and the mechanics of Itsonics. A crossbred theological ontology, bred between mathematical/logical existence and the engineering paradigm of reality mathematics, by the director of the Transfigural Mathematics Laboratory, Dr. Lere O. Shakunle. (http://www.acsa2000.net/matran2) Cheers, Dan.
