You know I have no shame - right? So I invoked the magic of 6 degrees of seperation and emailed Adam Bosworth, even though I never met the man. He answered me! That's quite wonderful. Thanks Adam! 8:29:47 PM     Dare Obasanjo has a very nicely done comparison between C# and Java. Very comprehensive and well researched. 8:26:27 PM     Halcyon already has one fan...

Its about 3/4 way down in the article. And he is right, MS makes decisions more centrally than the Java based world. Which means that MS is more efficient which in turn makes economic sense. So who will win? That reminds me. Open Source is wonderful - BUT I don't know any IS Manager or CTO who is willing to go before his superiors or BOD and recommend a tool that doesn't have a "central point of blame" attached with it. There is great value in pointing at Gates and saying "he screwed up". Who do you blame in an open source project? 9:51:17 AM     Web Services: Computerworld has a good analysis of the experience of early adopters.

But SOAP needs an entire workflow tier that manages how messages are sent back and forth and has rules for handling the message traffic. 9:35:41 AM     "We're bypassing the whole CLI,"  - Halcyon has a .NET to Java converter for Web Services. This should be interesting! Here is the report by InfoWorld 9:24:47 AM     Al Queda Sleeper Cell in Singapore waited dormant for 8 years! 9:02:44 AM
