RE: [xml-dev] Microsoft's vision of data and the role of XML in that context

Didier,

Did I hear right (in the VSLIVE video) - is Microsoft essentially abandoning SOAP in favor of other technologies in .NET?  

Thank you!!!!   The VSLIVE video http://www.fawcette.com/reports/vsliveor/2002/09_18_02/keynote/ was a great resource on where Microsoft is going with XML.  It answered so many questions I have.  And also provided more questions - like the SOAP one above. 

Thanks,
Pam

Hi

For the curious fellows interested to know what the Redmond 800 pound gorilla views as a future and the role of XML in it, Check the video presentation you’ll find at the end of this link: http://www.fawcette.com/reports/vsliveor/2002/09_18_02/keynote/. Keep in mind that the API presented in this video is a client side API used to interface with data (structured and semi-structured).

Note: It doesn’t mean that I am supporting their view but since they play a very important role in the development community, it worth a lurk ☺

Cheers
