ok, so What if Microsoft built an XML-based (.NET) indexing service into a future release of IIS? how long will it take to be adopted? google could easely do the same. it does not need to be built into the server. an extra app that indexes your site and reports the result would do. if google offered that, i believe this would be adopted very fast. people are already keen on getting found by searchengines, and a push instead of pull method would become popular very soon. if there are any problems with that then microsoft will have the same problems. and index feeds trusted? yeah right! linux is pushing to the desktop already. by the time this "what if" is done linux desktop share will have grown a lot. and i don't buy that Microsoft is capable of building and deploying anything, pretty much as quickly as they want to. microsoft already lost the server war, and they are about to loose the desktop next. don't worry, apache will be safe. greetings, martin. -- looking for a job doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer working and travelling in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
