About the Microsoft Business Systems Technology Series
The Microsoft Business Systems Technology Series consists of a number of interrelated white papers dedicated to educating IT professionals about Windows NT and the Microsoft Back Office family of products. While current technologies used in Microsoft products are often covered, the real purpose of this series is to give the reader an idea of how major technologies are evolving, how Microsoft is using those technologies, and what this means to information technology planners.
Microsoft's Native DCE Compatible Support
Several DCE technologies are critical to the construction of inter-operable
systems. Microsoft has fully adopted these as core technologies
for Microsoft systems products.
How Should Applications Be Developed?
