Eek. Looks like Microsoft is stopping support of the good old SOAP Toolkit. Not terribly suprising, but I think they could have given us a little more time. July 1, 2004? We use the SOAP Toolkit in our (still mostly) COM-based system, and 6 months is an awfully short timeframe in which to rip out that code and integrate the .NET Framework. Guess we'll be working without a net for a bit.
Update: Looks like Microsoft is giving us a brief reprieve, and extending support for a while. Standard support now ends April 2005, extended support ends April 2007.
