Beware! The computer is extending its reach
Article Abstract:
New technologies displayed at the Demo 93 conference suggest that the executive computer will take on a much larger role as a communications device in the months and years ahead. An example of a new type of communications product is Watermark Software Corp's Watermark Discovery edition software, expected to ship in summer 1993. The software offers an elegant, inexpensive method for integrating incoming fax messages and scanned documents into Microsoft Windows applications. List price is $149. The Professional version, for networked users, will cost $395 plus $100 per user when it ships later in 1993. Other new products on the way will enhance communications across networks and wireless networks and multimedia communications.

Champion of MS-DOS, admirer of Windows
Article Abstract:
Bradley Michael Chase, Microsoft Corp's general manager for MS-DOS, is in charge of the development and marketing of the popular operating system. He says that while Microsoft itself proclaimed Windows as the operating system of the future, MS-DOS still has 100 million users worldwide who prefer evolutionary rather than revolutionary changes. The company, he says, is still committed to advancing MS-DOS even if the forthcoming Windows 4.0 will no longer need MS-DOS as its operating platform. Such commitment to the development of DOS is driven by the continuing interest of the market. Version 6.0 of the operating system is targeted at end users, no longer software developers. The company is now working on DOS 7.0.

The handwriting on the wall
Article Abstract:
Microsoft Corp and Go Corp are two software publishers that are currently developing operating systems for pen-based computers. The operating systems will be used on this new generation of computers that are operated by writing on the screen or a tablet with a pen-like stylus. The new pen-based computers are expected to find use in factories, warehouses, police departments, hospitals, restaurants and many other industries where workers must be on their feet a lot. Pen-based operating systems use a complex technology known as object orientation, which is being increasingly used in advanced computer programs. The pen-based operating systems also have a unique notebook interface.
