Microsoft lifts curtain on Indigo

Why don't they just use Java?: The article states:
"The goal of Indigo is to simplify the process of building distributed applications, where software components communicate across a network using Web services protocols. For example, the Indigo communications system will allow an application written with Microsoft's .Net tools to share information with a Java application without the need for special code to bridge the two systems."

Why reinvent the wheel when you have standards based products that work cross platform? Why waste time and money? Yes, the money that Microsoft wants people to pay in licensing fees for features already provided by Java?; Posted by: Sunny Jalolly Posted on: 03/16/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
