What did I just say? ;)
"Semantics enable power structures". Whoever told MS, "services are cool" may have been on the ball. However, when MS uses the term ".Net Web Services", they are just doing the embrace and extend dance again--they're simply shoehorning applications into the service model. I'm using "services" as an opposite to "applications"; they're using it as a delivery vehicle for applications. Big difference.
I was one of the original authors of VB, and *I* wouldn't use VB for a text
processing program. :-)
