Hmmm,
When you say...
I love Java, but this is simply bullshit. The main purpose of.NET is the exact opposite. It's purpose is to allow developers to actually use COM and the Windows API without being shackled to VB and Visual C++. ...it lets me know you haven't actually looked at.NET and are totally unaware of the position of COM within.NET
COM exists in.NET only as a legacy architecture to support..NET classes aren't COM objects.
Having looked at Web Services as a delivery for a current Topic Map solution, using the.NET framework I'm totally sold on the idea.
For syndication and a lot of distributed KM type solutions they're perfect.
Syndication is a big thing, and Web Services are such a good fit for syndication I think their future is assured.
I think it kind of tiresome that for each new tech that comes out/. quickly fills up with "it's just tech x + tech y, so what", normally illustrating very clearly that the comment has issued from someone who as only quinted at teh technology in question from a great distance, through very dark sunglasses, and has assumed they have the concepts down cold.
Go produce a class in.NET, flag a couple of methods as a Web Methods (using C++, C#, JScript, VB or Python... with your favourite language likely to be there too within a few months), and watch the framework automagically put in the plumbing for it's delivery across the wire as XML, including dynamic production of a test harness... definately gets my vote as a Cool Thing(tm).
Shouting from across the Pond...
What if any policies do the candidates have to further US/EU relations?
Do any of the candidates perceive the need for open trilateral bodies (US/EU/Japan)?
What do the candidates see as being the biggest obsticles to cordial relations between the US, EU and Japan? And, how would the candidates seek to overcome them.
