Maybe time to switch to MSFT at 85, here are some musings by Gates:
"And that impedance match, there are ways of taking some of the ideas that were around object database language couplings, and really getting those into the mainstream. "
"We want to create a run time environment that supports Java, C, Visual Basic, and a new set of languages that are coming along that really deal with this XML schema issue, that really take data binding, which has been really the worst thing in development, where you have to go and find the data, find the format of the data, pull it in, transform it, and try to get it back out. Most code is written around that. "
If you think the market will take MSFT product announcements in this area as "lip service", then you're on a good bet with ODIS in the mid 2's |
