• JulieAnne Vista Multimedia architecture?

  I hear Vista will feature a new multimedia architecture to replace DirectShow, supposedly by the name of Windows Media Foundation (WMF).   However, I see no sign at all of this from Microsoft.

  We are evaluating Workflow Foundation to build our middleware solution which is a multi-channel banking system (Branches, ATMS, Internet, Phone). Basically, this tier exposes services to the channels. Most of the services are synchronous, but we also have asynchronous services. We also have services that are multi-step, which means we pretend to use the persistence functionality of WF. We decided to evaluate WF because most of our services have ...Show All
