The Next Generation of Microsoft Online Help
Unlocking Communication
Just as clothing styles change, and fall's fashion is different from summer's, so Microsoft presents it's new fall's fashion of online help to a fashion-consious entourage of software companies always eager to follow Microsoft's lead. But this time instead simply modifying the old wardrobe, Microsoft is trying a whole new fashion. Slowly discovering the world of XML and Web technologies, but still keeping a proprietary hold on things, Microsoft's next generation of online help is based on XAML which is based on XML. This is not to be confused with Transaction Authority Markup Language (XAML). The Microsoft XAML will come out with "Longhorn", its new operating system, or as they say "software platform".
