Microsoft Application Center won .NET Magazine's Reader's
Choice Award for best "Windows/Systems Management
Solution.
Microsoft Application Center 2000 is still the
latest version. You can download Service Pack 2
for the latest fixes and enhancements.
Microsoft also expects that the need for Application
Center will diminish in time -- its functionality
will become part of the Windows operating system
(Longhorn) and Windows applications.
So the big change in Microsoft .NET Application
Center Server will come with Longhorn. Whenever
that is put on the market.

This updates the article at:
AppleScript for Not Yet Techies
The big news right now in AppleScript is the upcoming new
version of its operating system, Mac OS X 10.4 -- nicknamed
Tiger -- which is expected to ship on April 29. Of course,
the version of AppleScript included with this will be updated
and expanded.
You can use AppleScript's GUI scripting architecture to control
the menus, windows and dialog boxes of applications that don't
directly support the scripting language.
With AppleScript in Tiger, you'll be able to execute scripts on
a set schedule or at any specified time of the day or week.
Other new features include:
AppleScript Utility
Code Sense
Dictionary Viewer
Data Events Suite
Property List Suite
System Info Command
Secure Display Dialog
Improved Display Alert
Before that, the previous update to AppleScript occurred
in 2003 with Panther -- nickname for Mac OS X 10.3.
