XmlDevCon: Don Box's talk...

Brian Cox was a visionary. Objects have become the moral equivalent of a Software IC. There is an IC Plant on your desktop.
[re: WS-*.* specs] The cost of cross-company collaboration is WAY higher than I ever expected...

Object-Orientation: Managted develop and test cycle, abstraction-driven IDEs, Platform Constrained, Compiler technology focused. Security == private?
Service-Orientation: Unknown integration partner. All I can do is write constraints on variation. Primitive tooling, Unknown platform, WS-Technology in controlled descent. Intense security requirements.
