Dave Winer loosens his lips to the fact that the next version of Microsoft FrontPage supports weblogging. If true, blogging will be highly enabled in the enterprise (I think you still get FrontPage with Office) and made much more accessible in the home. Microsoft's judicious adherence to the current set of standards (I wouldn't hold my breath) could mean an order of magnitude more weblog writers.
Positive: official stamp of approval on weblogging
Negatives: massive hype wave, impending embrace and extend
Position: reserved enthusiasm
