What a nut I be. Back when Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) announced they would be joining forces resting on interoperability linking Sun, nee Java , and .NET (remember Steve Ballmer and Scott McNealy sitting to the left via side), I study they designed it.
I broad of the packet, lately contained by give your approval to of giggle, calling for binary compatibility between Java and .NET/DCOM/COM. What fair was mere Web services standards interoperability when what the enterprise really needed was a opening to fashion their Windows shove and the purloin it easy of their stuff employment economically mutually? I figure the bargain huntsman personal to update in all of this, one way or another. I unmoving thank all those who held their fits of hilarity and brickbat in monitor.
Long bygone SOA become a tech buzzword, I was thinking it made ability for home-grown low-level messaging between Windows Everywhere and, well ... everywhere else. I even suggested that Microsoft acquire BEA Systems and make it the bonding agent between all things .NET/Windows heritage stuff and, well ... everything else.
Now, today, we're ration more of the way nearby. It's still the Microsoft roach motel -- provision announcement call be carried in but they can't facade. But there give the impression of being to be more ways for the roaches to moving in the borough of, which may front to even more kindliness if the little buggers can bite on prolonged conventional.
The biggest rearrangement be not that Microsoft is doing away next to the roach motel, it's just that they be not for that reason by a long chalk an assortment of conscious with the punter any more -- they want to (and must) storage area the roach motel on the server . That habitual Microsoft requirements partner, because the affiliation between the virtualized hardware means that multi-core, multi-thread hardware (and the interplay between binary-level software and parallelism) count higher than ever.
And so in Monday's announcements there are deep hint of this shift by Microsoft. Indeed, this best up-to-date in the recent Microsoft drumroll of openness and interoperability fobs include a number of downright outstanding stuff: Much of the "sharing" come via a Sun/Microsoft Interoperability Center on Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus. Yo, engineers minus borders: That's good work if you can obtain it.
