                              News and Comments

     The release date of Windows Vista continues to be pushed back.  Steve
Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, is now indicating that the operating system may not
be released until a year from now.  The manager of the project has been
replaced and there are reports that the latest publicly released test
version of the software is quite buggy.  As I wrote about in February,
some of the more significant changes planned for Vista have been dropped,
so there is a good chance that existing DB/C software should be compatible
without any changes.  When Vista is finally released we'll give it a thorough
shake down and report back to you.

     We have begun work on DB/C DX 15, which we expect to release early next
year.  If there are particular features that you would like to see included
in the new release, please contact us.

     There is no article this month.  I had hoped to report about an
exciting new tool for building AJAX web apps.  That tool is the Google Web
Toolkit - GWT.  Unfortunately, I've not gotten far enough into the testing
of GWT to have formed an opinion about it.  I'll report on my findings next
month.  If any of you have worked with GWT, I would like to hear your opinions
about it so that I can provide a more comprehensive article next month.
