We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

SPECIAL REPORT: Today's Edition of "XML-Journal Industry Newsletter" Creates the Hottest XML Discussion of the Year
SYS-CON Story Was Read by More Than 35,000 XML Professionals within Hours After It Was Published

Montvale, NJ, October 24, 2002 - SYS-CON Media, headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, announced today that the current edition of XML-Journal's "XML-J Industry Newsletter" was viewed by more than 35,000 readers within hours after it was distributed, and created one of the hottest XML discussions of the year. The story was written by XML-Journal news desk.
(http://www.sys-con.com/xml/articlenews.cfm?id=513).

The Internet technology world is being rocked today by a debate started when XML-Journal Industry Newsletter, published every week by SYS-CON Media, carried an item in which Tim Bray-coauthor of the World Wide Web Consortium's original XML 1.0 recommendation -exclusively revealed that in his opinion the newly XML-enabled version of Microsoft Office, code-named "Office 11", is shaping up to be "a huge step forward for management, independent software developers, and Microsoft."

Canadian-based Bray told XML-J Industry Newsletter quite categorically: "The XML-enabling of Office was obviously a major investment and is a major achievement." Ever since the story ran, developers from all over the world have been reacting to Bray's views-and the discussion was quickly picked up too on Slashdot.org, the world-famous discussion site for technology issues.

On the SYS-CON Media companion site to the XML-J Industry Newsletter, at (http://www.sys-con.com/xml), the page bearing the full version of Bray's comments was viewed by over 35,000 readers in the first six hours since being published this morning.

"It just demonstrates the interest and passion surrounding the eXtensible Markup Language to this day," said Founder & CEO of SYS-CON Media, Fuat Kircaali. "We launched XML-Journal three years ago, at a time when few people were even aware of the impending strategic significance of XML. Now, as XML-J prepares to enter its fourth year of publication in 2003, it has indisputably become the journal of first resort for technical and industry discussions relating to XML technologies. It leads over every other publication of its kind in the world."

"We are delighted that so many tens of thousands of developers should have opted to take advantage of our coverage of this story," added Jeremy Geelan, editorial director of SYS-CON Media and of XML-Journal. "It validates our commitment to 24x7 coverage of i-technology in all its manifestations and embracing all its technologies, from Java, XML, and .NET to Linux, Wireless, and Web Services. No other media company has our range of ten monthly titles, positioned across the entire i-technology spectrum. And no other company accompanies each market-leading journal with an equally market-leading Web site, a market-leading industry newsletter, and-perhaps I should even say, above all-a market-leading technical conference and expo."

"With our unparalleled program of national and international Web Services Edge 2003 events," explained Grisha Davida, vice president of new business development at SYS-CON Media. "We seek to continue for the third successive year our comprehensive service to vendors, end users, and developers in the fast-converging Java, XML, .NET, Web Services space. Issues such as interoperability clearly put XML firmly in the limelight, which is why our technical program at each conference draws on the deep-rooted networks of intelligence and expertise underpinning each of our magazines."

SYS-CON's previous XML Edge 2001 - International XML Conference Expo has featured such XML luminaries as Charles Goldfarb, "The Father of Markup", as an opening keynote speaker, and Jon Bosak, XML architect for Sun Microsystems and named "The Father of XML" by the W3C XML Coordination Group in February 2000 for his work in organizing and leading the W3C working group that developed XML and was instrumental in the formation of the XML.org portal for electronic commerce and industrial applications of XML.
