RE: Web apps on the AS/400

["Schenck, Don" <Don.Schenck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken --

The future of Microsoft is being built on XML, NOT EDI. If you want to bet
against Microsoft's future success, do it -- but considering their past
success, I'd hedge that bet. 

If you consider the sheer number and intensity of companies and worldwide
organizations behind XML, you'll see that XML is the future of computing.

Do I REALLY believe it's that important and will be that pervasive?

Yes.

So does Microsoft ... IBM ... Sun ... Oracle ... and on and on ...
