RE: [ebxml-mktg-sc] Alexander [ebxml-dev] 1/2/2003: Microsoft Refusesto support ebXML

Monica,

I would also add that Microsoft sent two of their top
SOAP people to Vancouver to develop the ebXML MS
spec's with SOAP, and they also continue to have 
people on the OASIS and CEFACT teams.

The "only Sun" is a common mis-perception.  Oracle,
Sybase, Fujitsu, WebMethods, and many more are
implementing ebXML components.

MS is very pragmatic - when their key accounts ask
them for something - they deliver it, so I expect
moves in that direction in 2003.

And Monica is correct - the ebXML projects and products
document from the OASIS website is the definative source.

Thanks,

DW.
