With automatic download of Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) enormous SP2 security patch to the Windows XP operating system set to begin, the industry still waits to understand its ramifications. Home users that have their preferences set to receive operating-system updates as they are made available by Microsoft may be surprised to learn that some of the software they already run on their systems could be disabled by SP2 or may run very differently.

Richard Davey has a quick post noting the update of his WAMP Guide (a step-by-step method for installing Apache/MySQL/PHP on a Windows XP machine).   Just a short entry to let everyone (and the search engines) know that I've updated my comprehensive WAMP guide so it now covers PHP version 5.2.3. I always had a help file on how to upgrade to 5.2.3 at the end anyway, but now that 5.2.3 is officially released I updated the core guide to reflect this.   This tutorial is a "comprehensive guide to installing and running Apache 2.2.4 with PHP 4.4.7 and PHP 5.2.3 on Windows XP. It covers all of the steps in detail with lots of screen grabs so you can follow the process visually."

Microsoft has confirmed that it will deliver Windows XP Service Pack 2 to users via Automatic Update starting tomorrow. The company previously delayed including SP2 as an automatic update due to concerns from businesses that their infrastructures were not prepared for the significant operating system changes. Users who cannot download the hefty 100MB service pack will be able to find the update on CD bundled with numerous computer magazines, according to Microsoft. An official SP2 end-user Web site will also launch tomorrow.

(InfoWorld) - Blueprints for implementing interoperable and secure Web services are being amended by the Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) to incorporate the latest SOAP technology and reliable message transmission, representatives of organization said on Thursday. During a meeting at the Burton Group Catalyst Conference in San Francisco, WS-I officials cited plans to upgrade the group's Basic Profile and Basic Security Profile and release a Reliable Secure Profile. WS-I profiles feature implementation guidelines on using related Web services specifications together for interoperability. Membership in WS-I features a roster of the computer industry's major players. Companies like BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, and Sun are among the participants. The industry has embraced the WS-I Basic Profile to enable interoperability of Web services between different vendors' products, said Michael Bechauf, WS-I president and chairman. "The reception has been incredible," said Bechauf, who also is vice president of industry standards at WS-I member SAP. WS-I is working concurrently on two upgrades to Basic Profile, versions 1.2 and 2.0. Due by the end of the year, version 1.2 adds support for SOAP-based attachments and WS-Addressing for addressing of Web services and messages. Version 2.0, expected in 2008, changes the SOAP implementation from SOAP 1.1 to SOAP 1.2, promising performance improvements for embedded devices, WS-I officials said. WS-I did not consolidate the two Basic Profile upgrades because switching SOAP versions requires a major upgrade to products. Basic Profile 1.0 was published in August 2003 with version 1.1 following a year later. The advent of Basic Profile has had a positive impact on Web services, said analyst Anne Thomas Manes, vice president and research director of Burton Group. "Once that came out, a lot of our most egregious interoperability issues went away," Manes said. Vendors began adopting it, and people followed these rules as systems were being developed, she said. Manes cited errors in WSDL 1.1 as an example of egregious errors that impeded Web services implementation. Basic Security Profile 1.1, planned for ratification by the end of 2007, includes capabilities for single sign-on for Web services applications in multiple systems. This is accomplished through support for the WS-Security 1.1 specification, which backs new token profiles, particularly around XAML. WS-I is seeking five interoperable implementations of Basic Security Profile 1.1, which is a requirement for ratification. Basic Security Profile 1.0 was published March 30. With Reliable Secure Profile 1.0, also anticipated by the end of the year, WS-I is accommodating reliable transmission of messages. This differs from the Basic Security Profile, which covers encryption and signatures. Reliable Secure Profile will incorporate support for the WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1 and WS-SecureConversation 1.3 specifications. WS-I at the conference Thursday evening plans to demonstrate interoperability offered by Basic Security Profile, featuring technologies from IBM, Microsoft, Novell, SAP, and Sun involved in a supply chain management application. Also, a group of companies at the conference will be featured in an interoperability demonstration of the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language 2.0 standard from OASIS. Among the participants are IBM, CA, Oracle, and Red Hat.
