No Microsoft software is required on any client or server that accesses HailStorm. Microsoft demonstrated various platforms accessing HailStorm services, including Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Pocket PC, Palm and various flavors of UNIX. ...
- From the Microsoft White Paper: "For users, HailStorm will be accessed through their applications, devices and services (also known as "HailStorm end-points"). A HailStorm-enabled device or application will, with your consent, connect to the appropriate HailStorm services automatically. ... Developers will build applications and services that take advantage of HailStorm to provide you with the best possible experience. The HailStorm platform uses an open access model, which means it can be used with any device, application or services, regardless of the underlying platform, operating system, object model, programming language or network provider. All HailStorm services are XML Web services, which are based on the open industry standards of XML and SOAP; no Microsoft runtime or tool is required to call them. ... NET Enterprise Servers will fully incorporate support for HailStorm to make it as simple as possible for developers to use HailStorm services in their applications. From a technical perspective, HailStorm is based on Microsoft Passport as the basic user credential. The HailStorm architecture defines identity, security, and data models that are common to all HailStorm services and ensure consistency of development and operation. HailStorm is a highly distributed system and can help orchestrate a wide variety of applications, devices and services. The core HailStorm services use this architecture to manage such basic elements of a user's digital experience as a calendar, location, and profile information. Any solution using HailStorm can take advantage of these elements, saving the user from having to re-enter and redundantly store this information and saving every developer from having to create a unique system for these basic capabilities.

- 15 As a result of these judgements, the Bureau's RFC did not provide any warning of the severe hailstorm. ...
- The Sydney hailstorm of 14 April 1999 was a rare but unusually severe type of thunderstorm known as a "supercell" whose structure, intensity, movement and longevity is characteristically quite different from ordinary thunderstorms. ...
- The purpose of this report is to provide a summary analysis of available information on the meteorology of the severe hailstorm which struck the eastern suburbs of Sydney on the evening of 14 April 1999 and to explain why no advance warning was provided to the communities in the affected suburbs.
- Scientists of the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre will conduct high resolution, numerical model simulations of the thunderstorm to better understand its dynamics and the processes governing its movement, and there will be work done to test the emerging decision support systems, which are driven by signals provided by Doppler radars such as the one at Kurnell, to better understand their applicability in the context of the Sydney 14 April hailstorm. ...
- 25 Many aspects of the development and movement of the Sydney hailstorm of 14 April are not fully understood at this stage and will require detailed study in a research mode over the next few years. The following paragraphs, however, provide a simple overview of the broadscale synoptic environment in which the hailstorm developed and of its subsequent movement, and intensity, post-analysed through the use of archived radar data. ...
- To judge the effectiveness of a severe thunderstorm warning service on the outcome of a single event, even one as significant as the 14 April hailstorm, is to ignore the current level of uncertainty and imprecision in the science and technology of severe thunderstorm forecasting. ...
- 57 With the experience of the 14 April hailstorm, and while noting that the existing systems performed well, it would seem opportune to reconsider how best to deploy the available resources to support the severe weather warning service. ...
- Some events such as the 14 April hailstorm will only be experienced once, if at all, in a career of forecasting. ...
- The Sydney hailstorm of 14 April 1999 was a rare but unusually severe type of thunderstorm known as a "supercell" whose structure, intensity, movement and longevity is characteristically quite different to ordinary thunderstorms. ...
