The term 'middleware' seems to have been taken up by video game developers to refer to an entirely different set of products, such as [[Renderware]] which enable porting between different platforms. I've always understood middleware to be things like MQ and Tibco, so this kind of surprised me, however it seems to be gaining in usage. Perhaps a seperate Middleware (video games) is needed? Already, I've seen references to the XBox on this article. [[User:RobLinwood|RobLinwood]] 00:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

: I've answered myself and added a link to [[Game engine#Middleware]] [[User:RobLinwood|RobLinwood]] 00:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

: I have renamed this topic "Middleware (distributed applications)" and added a more general Middleware page that links to this one [[User:Paul Foxworthy|Paul Foxworthy]] ([[User talk:Paul Foxworthy|talk]]) 11:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

* Proposed. [[User:Pratyeka|prat]] ([[User talk:Pratyeka|talk]]) 13:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

* Oppose. MOM is a specific category of middleware, and an important enough topic in its own right. "Middleware (distributed applications)" should and does link to the MOM article.

In my 15 years I've used the term 'middleware' to describe the software layer underneath the application which provides services specific to the type of application. For instance take a cell phone software stack - the middleware would provide everything from task creation to graphics support, input management to phone features, etc., encapsulated with a consistent API. It's like a collection of libraries that share a common style and are designed to work together. Usually it sits on top of a hardware/os abstraction layer. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.252.238.121|76.252.238.121]] ([[User talk:76.252.238.121|talk]]) 03:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== "modern information technology"? ==

Seems the word "modern" is almost always inappropriate in today's fast moving [[Information Technology]] world.

With today's [[Platform as a Service]] offerings and [[JSON]], calling [[XML]], [[SOAP]] "modern" is so [[1990s]]
