WS-*? In the real world, it’s about being able to interoperate with WCF, and while that’s a worthwhile thing, that’s all it’s about. It’s not like HTTP or TCP/IP, truly interoperable frameworks, it’s like DCOM; the piece of Windows’ network-facing surface that Microsoft would like you to code to. For now, anyhow; it’ll be at least as easy as DCOM to walk away from when the embarrassment gets too great.
Holy crap.
Has it really slid this far out of control already? I was thinking the industry could keep to their talking points and rip off a few thousand more clueless IT managers over the next few years but when Gartner gives up on you, it’s a pretty safe bet that your days are numbered.
