The object oriented aspect of SOM is similar to, and a direct competitor to, Microsoft's Component Object Model, though it is implemented in a radically different manner ; for instance, one of the most notable differences between SOM and COM is SOM's support for inheritance ( one of the most fundamental concepts of OO programming )— COM does not have such support.

Microsoft's Component Object Model ( COM ) makes pervasive use of reference counting.

Microsoft's ActiveX Data Objects ( ADO ) is a set of Component Object Model ( COM ) objects for accessing data sources.

DCOM, which originally was called " Network OLE ", extends Microsoft's COM, and provides the communication substrate under Microsoft's COM + application server infrastructure.

The addition of the " D " to COM was due to extensive use of DCE / RPC ( Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Calls ) – more specifically Microsoft's enhanced version, known as MSRPC.

Examples include IBM's System Object Model ( SOM / DSOM ), Sun Microsystems ' Distributed Objects Everywhere ( DOE ), NeXT's Portable Distributed Objects ( PDO ), Digital's ObjectBroker, Microsoft's Component Object Model ( COM / DCOM ), and any number of CORBA-based systems.

Secondly, JScript has a strong foundation in Microsoft's ActiveX / COM technologies, and relies primarily on ActiveX components to provide much of its functionality ( including database access via ADO, file handling etc.

; SAS / Integration Technologies: Allows the SAS System to use standard protocols, like LDAP for directory access, CORBA and Microsoft's COM / DCOM for inter-application communication, as well as message-oriented middleware like Microsoft Message Queuing and IBM WebSphere MQ.

At the time there were a number of major projects to deliver such a system, including IBM's System Object Model ( SOM / DSOM ), NeXT's Portable Distributed Objects, Microsoft's Component Object Model ( COM / DCOM ) and many CORBA flavors.

It was developed primarily as a light-weight alternative to the Microsoft Foundation Classes and builds upon Microsoft's ATL, another lightweight API widely used to create COM and ActiveX libraries.

. NET Framework 3. 5 and Microsoft's Component Object Model ( COM ) are also required, as the other components used by this product are dependent on these technologies.

DCOM, which originally was called " Network OLE ", extends Microsoft's COM, and provides the communication substrate under Microsoft's COM + application server infrastructure.

DCOM, which originally was called " Network OLE ", extends Microsoft's COM, and provides the communication substrate under Microsoft's COM + application server infrastructure.

Implementation using Intel's Threading Building Blocks ( TBB ) and Microsoft's Parallel Pattern Library ( PPL ) to run on multi-core processors is shown to perform well in practice.

Bundling them together is alleged to have been responsible for Microsoft's victory in the browser wars as every Windows user had a copy of Internet Explorer.

Initially it is impossible to find any mention of specific bugs on Microsoft's website, but later he notices that Microsoft has instated a system similar to the Debian one, though sugar-coated so as to not ruin the vision demanded by its customers.

This approach is the basis of at least five proof-of-correctness systems for computer programs, beginning with the Stanford Pascal Verifier in the late 1970s and continuing though to Microsoft's Spec # system of 2005.

A competitor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages ( ASP ) server-side script engine and similar languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million Web sites and 1 million Web servers.

As mentioned, SMIL is not yet native to web browsers, so in order to put SMIL in a web page, one must embed it and open it in a plug-in such as Apple's QuickTime or Microsoft's Windows Media Player.

* Bingbot is the name of Microsoft's Bing webcrawler.

Apache is the most commonly used web server software ( according to Netcraft statistics ) and Microsoft's IIS is also commonly used.

* July 27 – Windows NT 3. 1, the first version of Microsoft's line of Windows NT operating systems, is released to manufacturing.

* Newsweek Magazine: " Microsoft's Tormentor How an affable trial lawyer with an understated canniness is driving Gates & Co. to the wall ", March 1, 1999

ADO is positioned as a successor to Microsoft's earlier object layers for accessing data sources, including RDO ( Remote Data Objects ) and DAO ( Data Access Objects ).

In large organizations, this is a task usually delegated to what is known as directory services such as openLDAP, Novell's eDirectory or Microsoft's Active Directory.

The Common Language Runtime ( CLR ) is the virtual machine component of Microsoft's. NET framework and is responsible for managing the execution of. NET programs.

Microsoft's Encarta, launched in 1993, was a landmark example as it had no printed equivalent.

For example, Microsoft's Outlook client uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server server as does IBM's Notes client when communicating with a Domino server, but all of these products also support POP, IMAP, and outgoing SMTP.

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer mentioned Bob as an example of a situation where " we decided that we have not succeeded and let's stop ".

Microsoft's ASP. net State Server technology is an example of a session database.

Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage system is a far-reaching example of this.

For example, Microsoft's Windows XP operating system had three major service packs during its lifetime.

For example, the software company Microsoft has a large sphere of influence in the market of operating systems ; any entity wishing for its software product must ensure that it is compatible with Microsoft's products to be successful.

For example, Microsoft has expertise in many IT based innovations where for a variety of reasons it is difficult for competitors to replicate Microsoft's core competences.

Probably the thinnest clients ( sometimes called " Ultra Thin ") are remote desktop applications, for example the X Window System, Citrix products and Microsoft's Terminal Services, which effectively allow applications to run on a centrally-hosted virtual PC and copy keystrokes and screen images between the local PC and the virtual PC.

Although StarBasic itself is similar to other dialects of Basic, such as Microsoft's VBA, the application programming interface ( API ) is very different, as the example below of a macro illustrates.

For example, one of the key questions in the United States v. Microsoft antitrust trial was whether Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser was part of its Windows operating system or a separable piece of application software.

One application of " live analysis " is to recover RAM data ( for example, using Microsoft's COFEE tool, windd, WindowsSCOPE ) prior to removing an exhibit.

An example of code completion is the Microsoft's IntelliSense design.

In the example of Microsoft Windows, the company developed a verification tool named Windows Genuine Advantage, that originally activated a kill switch, or reduced functionality mode, on what Microsoft's mandatory software deemed to be an unlicensed copy of the operating system.

A good example is Telnet or Microsoft's Server Message Block

Some attempts were made to replicate some of these features: For example, Microsoft's Visual Studio replicated BlueJ's object bench feature, however, it remained somewhat obscure because it is not included in all versions of that environment.

A well known example of monopolistic market power is Microsoft's market share in PC operating systems.

For example, Microsoft's Windows API maintains the programming language definition of WORD as 16 bits, despite the fact that the API may be used on a 32-or 64-bit x86 processor, where the standard word size would be 32 or 64 bits, respectively.

For example, Microsoft's Direct3D standard was in rapid development with major changes occurring.

This is an example of an LDIF record that modifies multiple single-valued attributes for two different directory entries ( this format is used by Microsoft's LDIFDE tool ):

Objects of other data types are represented as scalar strings indicating the object names, such as measure group name in Microsoft's function or KPI name in for example Microsoft's or functions.

For example, the Windows Server domains protocols are entirely MSRPC based, as is Microsoft's DNS administrative tool.

For example, in the 1985-1987 period, the virtual synchrony model was proposed and emerged as a widely adopted standard ( it was used in the Isis Toolkit, Horus, Transis, Ensemble, Totem, Spread, C-Ensemble, Phoenix and Quicksilver systems, and is the basis for the CORBA fault-tolerant computing standard ; the model is also used in IBM Websphere to replicate business logic and in Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 enterprise clustering technology ).
