Active Channel

An information delivery system from Microsoft that provides a platform for "pushing" information to users from Internet content providers as well as from internal intranets. Active Channels, which are supported starting in Internet Explorer Version 4.0 and Windows 98, are based on Microsoft's Channel Definition Format (CDF). Windows 98 provides a Channel Bar that can be viewed on the desktop. See Active Desktop and CDF.

The Channel Bar

This is the default Active Channel Bar on the first Windows 98 desktops. Clicking any item launches the browser so that you can subscribe. The Channel Guide lets you browse through the thousands of offerings from third parties that are made available via Microsoft's Web site.
