Not your average bar of SOAP, based on the increasingly popular Web standard for data exchange called the Extensible Markup Language (XML), will let business software programs communicate over the Internet regardless of the programming model on which they are based. news.cnet.com Anyone...... what long term motives can you see for MSFT behind this, if any, besides the obvious Y2K software compatibility?

FC> Computer/internet related technology: ) I read an article that even advertising might soon follow the footsteps of a "add created by a software based expert system", and eliminate the need for advertising departments. Just such a system won an award over human designed advertisements here recently. Since data is widely available, and value on that data has changed from just being a commodity to becoming "a premium on the perspective of that data", aren't we building super-think machines that may only require a daily entry based on new performance data? Therefore, eliminating the need for most consultants? "Read about Franks new N-Chip". If record startups continue to pour over the new premium data, (there out there everywhere), turning it into what might soon be called biological data, meaning one day there might not be a clear difference between human intelligence and machine intelligence. Isn't this what we've always wanted, a thinking mans brain, turning the net into a circle of bio-intelligent software? FC, this new neural implant (fitted nicely into the cranium), could capture your complex electrodes and re-install in back into your new online consulting firm. How'd dat be? Temp' ps..Frank, save yourself a few headaches each day, go see Dr. Max-Planck <laughing> mnphys.biochem.mpg.de Will consulting be one of the last traditional frontiers left alone? <smiling>
