General Development "D-Bus 1.0 was officially released last week. Developed by FreeDesktop.org, D-Bus is an open source interprocess communication system created to promote interoperability between various Linux desktop environments by providing a cohesive common platform for internal system and application messaging. D-Bus, which has been under active development for four years, is already used extensively in the GNOME environment and will eventually replace DCOP in KDE."

I don't really get these lines...Win32 API is so completely different thing altogether. DBUS is just plain and simple a framework for apps to send data back and forth.

DBUS can actually now enable these things to happen.

And what would it benefit in a network?

Clearly you've never used or written an application to do administration over a network.

It isn't even meant to be exposed to such, and besides, what would you do with it?

Everything people do with something like DCOM and remote WMI today - which is a hell of a lot.

I never cease to be amazed by people who don't understand this stuff.
