Achieving the promise of object-oriented software

Article Abstract:

Object-oriented (OO) software technology was expected to provide increased software reuse, improved cross-platform portability, enhanced interoperability and increased productivity, but those benefits have not fully materialized. The availability of new standards, such as Common Object Request Broker Architecture, should allow OO software's promise to be realized. Information on those standards is presented.

Windows 95 - "it's alive."(software improvements)(Editorial)

Article Abstract:

The usability of Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system reflects the fact that computer software, though it can still be difficult to work with, has improved dramatically. A 'Golden Age' of software, in which advances will be more extensive and will come quicker than ever before, could be dawning. By some estimates, software evolves every six months.
