Microsoft Lifts Curtain on Indigo Software

Posted by samzenpus on from the plays-well-with-others dept.

daria42 writes "Microsoft has released an early version of Indigo on the Microsoft Developer Network. Indigo is a new communications system intended to let Windows programs more easily connect to other software. Indigo was one of the three original "pillars" of Longhorn, however under the new plan it will be re-tooled to work with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, in addition to Longhorn."

      Well, what I heard is that they have renamed Linux 0.1-2.6.11 to fucking piece of stolen bullshit.

      They tried but Microsoft already had IP rights to the name from back when they ripped CP/M.

    ^^ Marked troll? My Arse. I litterally block every single RPC mechanism on the Web. Who leaves open SMB/CORBA/SOAP/UPNP/LDAP unless its absolutely necessary due to product functionality. Can someone please tell me how my comment is faulty and how SOAP is now immune to all attacks?
