Yes, partially. Except that it would better be open standard (your (*)) and it should be implemented strategically - i.e. not only in Hotmail but in Exchange, Outlook, etc. OA>> mainly as MS are known to do only things that promote their OA>> proprietary protocols and not others. IBM is probably not much That is not entirely correct, at least for now - they are vigorously promoting any protocols or standards they chose, but they do value standartization and open protocols lately - e.g. most of their .net specs are public. While there is no doubt that they have their own agenda and would promote it, it would not necessary contradict with my needs or OSS software developers' and users' needs. Last but not least, I think I can tolerate protocol "controlled" by some Big Corporate Entity, provided the protocol itself is public and possible to implement independently and that it is actually used and accepted. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-54-6524945 /\ JRRT LotR. whois:!SM8333 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
