Dick,

An important disctinction: this is an article, not a press release. As I've
made
abundantly clear to any journalist who would listen, Microsoft and IBM
have worked together for years on such things as the W3C Document Object
Model (also with Sun and others) and XML Schema (also with Oracle and
others).
If you mean the J2EE business as the "Sun/IBM disagreement", that has been
a
dead issue since the end of June.

Bob

FYI.... I've had more than one person ask me if the Sun/IBM disagreement
would affect ebXML's chances...

This press release isn't helping matters.
