Now, wearing my SOAP-developer hat, I have to push back to them. It's my job to make sure that SOAP is a standard for independent developers. If one of those developers is poisoning the soup, well, it's my job to highlight that. Microsoft has said repeatedly on and off the record that their purpose in using SOAP is to attain interop. If that's provably false, that's news. Now if I take off my SOAP hat, I have to say if MS achieves interop in SOAP, it would be a milestone, and unusual behavior for them, and newsworthy." created="Thu, 25 Oct 2001 20:14:17 GMT"/>

		<outline text="I just got an email from a friend at Microsoft who says we can use COM to communicate with .NET. He surely means well, but there's still a major disconnect. We are not interested in connecting with Microsoft through COM. That's legacy. We invested three years in SOAP.

How long does it take to put up a page that says &quot;Wired Announces the Winners,&quot; and explain who they are, and what the process was, and why Wired admires them so. Then I could send a pointer to people at Microsoft saying &quot;Look, they checked it out, and we are actually doing cool shit with SOAP.
