Announcing the availability of new editorial content and more on the copyright-free IT-Enquirer Web publication.

ANTWERP, AMSTERDAM, LONDON - June 07, 2001 - <http://.it-enquirer.com>On the fifth of June, Gartner released a first take on middleware as the third way in technology adoption. IT-Enquirer published an editorial on HP's e-business enabling middleware called NetAction, the day before.As always, both the basic article on NetAction and the subsequent quotes by Gartner are available as freely downloadable, copyright-free editorial from IT-Enquirer.Another pressing issue in technology wonderland is the release of a new Unix by Apple. Called Mac OS X, the new system wraps a powerful but ugly Unix foundation in a beautiful and efficient interface. IT-Enquirer contains an elaborate article on the value of interfacing for productivity boosting. IT-Enquirer concludes much interface efficiency or misery can be blamed on the developer.Starting today, IT-Enquirer contains a forum section where visitors will be able to discuss the topics covered on IT-Enquirer with peers and occasionally with professionals from the vendor community. Currently, the two forums that have been opened (starting June 12) are moderated by the publisher. When a forum delivering interview-capabilities and information exchange with vendors opens, registered users of IT-Enquirer will receive an announcement upfront for these limited-time opportunities to talk with the people who develop the products and services.------About IT-Enquirer and its publisher, Erik Vlietinck, Ll.D.Erik Vlietinck is a Belgian and a dr. of Law, currently dividing his time between Belgium, Holland and the UK.
