Microsoft offers new details about the "Indigo" technology in its next Windows version to connect systems over the Internet. Microsoft on Tuesday offered new details about how the next version of the Windows operating system will use Web services to connect systems over the Internet and to make programmers more efficient. As an example, Microsoft senior VP Eric Rudder said that generating a secure, reliable Web service capable of interacting with other systems on the Internet will go from a programming job that requires 56,200 lines of code to one that requires three. Rudder discussed what Microsoft calls the Indigo programming model, a version of which is due to be released in March in advance of Microsoft's next version of Windows, dubbed Longhorn. Indigo is a collection of guidelines and defined way of doing tasks meant to simplify the job of including security, reliability, and messaging into an application that will be accessed via the Internet as a Web service. | ||

| Yeah, they promise interoperability with any other WIndows product, or those third-parties who can pay the high licensing fee. |

"or those third-parties who can pay the high licensing fee. "
Do you have a cite? Or is that more FUD? |

It was more of a prediction. If MS is ordered to share protocols with everyone and they desperately want to exclude F/OSS, then they will rely on a huge licensing fee. That way they can go before the judge and say "See, we made them accessible to everyone (who can afford it)" Just another way for them to adhere to the letter of the law while totally flouting the spirit.
And it's not FUD, at least not the MS FUD you're used to. It's just D -- doubt. |
