NOT MUCH! Consumers thinking about buying a new personal computer in 2005 might be better off putting off their purchase until 2006. With few major changes in PC hardware or software due over the next year, the PC of 2005 is likely to look awfully similar to the PC of today. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=A8CFBC:2B910B2 ======================================================================== IN BRIEF: W3C ISSUES XINCLUDE 1.0 The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) this week published XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. XInclude provides a generic mechanism for merging XML documents into a single composite document, simplifying the creation and management of information components and making it easier to reuse information. XInclude 1.0 can be used with any version of XML, as well as other existing XML-related specs. To learn more, visit the W3C's Web site at www.w3.org. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=A8CFBB:2B910B2 ======================================================================== -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ADVERTISEMENT THE POWER OF DESIGN, AN INFOWORLD WEBCAST ON MODELING Did you know that with the power of a model-driven approach, one can simplify new architectures, improve development performance, and respond rapidly to changes across other data models?
