He's not happy about it, and gives his reasons. But I wonder if he's also a little concerned at how such an underhand move will affect Firefox's market share on the Windows platform? And I wonder how many of the Mac disciples who replied, feel the same way when MS tries similar tricks? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Irascian put me onto this site (through the DailyDotNetShow) which appears to be Soapbox but re-branded. Is Soapbox doing so badly that there is an attempt to re-brand it? Why is the branding not 'Live'? If it is an educational resource, why is it not in one of the (far too many) marketing sites such as C8/9/10? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I am coding unmanaged C++ with VS2005. Short version of this question. I need to capture still images from webcam and scanner on XP, Vista,*Win Server 2003, and eventually Server 2008. Should I use: *WIA (scanner and webcam) *TWAIN*(scanner and I guess some webcams too) *DirectShow (webcam) *Windows Media Device Manager (?) *Windows Media Foundation (?) *Windows Portable Devices (?) Long version: I already coded the Windows Imaging Acquisition API to integrate scanner and webcam still image capture. This worked great on Windows XP. But I also need it to work on Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server with connection back to the Windows XP desktop's webcam/scanner. For this I have been researching a USB over IP solutions from Fabulatech and it works pretty good except now I find my testing HP scanner, Casio scanner, Microsoft webcam, and Logitech*webcam do not have Win Server 2003 drivers, which apparently is a common issue on Win Server 2003 which means it will be a problem for my customers. It looks like our Microsoft and Logitech webcams we are using for testing do work using*a DirectShow interface on Win Server 2003 connected to the Windows XP installed webcam using USB over IP. I think that some scanners may work using TWAIN over this USB over IP solution. So what should I be using? I thought that WIA was the future but now it seems like Windows Portable Devices API is the latest and greatest thing. I cannot find any clear story on this. Thanks. More...
