http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonmatusow/archive/2007/05/23/interop-in-the-news.aspxSo, it is pathetic that I have not posted to my blog since the middle of March. I have been receiving nasty-grams in mail from friends asking when I was going to get off my butt and start writing again. That would be today. I'm down at Interop Lasen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonmatusow/archive/2007/05/23/interop-in-the-news.aspx#2844813Thu, 24 May 2007 19:18:10 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:2844813jasonmatusow<p>Sam - I completely agree that interop is not achieved in lieu of standards. But there are a million ways that inteorperability happens without standards being involved at all. Yet, there are a million ways that standards deliver interop as well. The whole point of what I'm saying is that interop is a cocktail made up of many igrediants. I disagree with the assertion that interoperability=open standards. That is a point made by many and I think it is too narrow of a point of view.</p> <p>thx for the comment</p> <p>Jason</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2844813" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonmatusow/archive/2007/05/23/interop-in-the-news.aspx#2843693Thu, 24 May 2007 18:05:01 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:2843693Notes2Self.net<p>Microsoft made several identity metasystem interoperability announcements at Interop 2007 today.
