It's not like Microsoft is ever out of the news, but recent announcements about the software giant's support for technologies like RSS and XML have been a big help to us in our work. It's not all that often I'm thrilled about how the gang in Redmond goes about their business, but I'm very grateful for the confirmation of importance implicit in their announcements about both RSS and XML. Often, clients insist neither technology is relevant to their information services, projects or organization, but when a major player like Microsoft recognizes the importance of an information management tool, it's a big step toward moving that tool from Emerging Trend to Fact of Life.
Now ... if I could just get similiar recognition for my abilities as an amateur gardener ...
