Re: [ebxml-dev] Microsoft Refuses to support ebXML

[Fraser Goffin <goffinf@hotmail.com>]

Duane,

the comment referring to Microsoft was actually contained within a 
specification provided by IBM !

One might suspect that it suits there purposes to deflect questions about 
ebXML support by making statements about Microsoft. IBM have been singularly 
'luke-warm' about support for ebXML as well.

Have you had any dealing with IBM that would suggest otherwise ?

Fraser.
