Microsoft's .NET initiative is not tied to one platform. Any any device or OS can utilize the services with any programming language using XML and SOAP.

``ECMA, a leading international standards body for information technology and corporate telecommunications, is pleased to consider the proposal from Microsoft to develop the standards for a new Internet programming language that can be implemented by vendors to run on any platform or device,'' said Jan van den Beld, secretary-general of the Geneva-based ECMA. ``We see excellent synergy between this proposal and our existing ECMAScript Standard (ECMA-262), which provides the scripting language for the World Wide Web.
