Microsoft.com WebServices
I have been on a quest to find “real-world“ examples of significant web services. I have looked at an played with google and amazon's web service sdks. Now I have something from MS:

The SDK seemed to install on my work computer fine but didn't really. The help doesn't work.
All went well at home though, on both an XP and Win2003 machines, using VS.NET 2003. except that I didn't realize that WSE 1.0 must be installed - I had 2.0. After that the the examples all worked well and were interesting to play with. I have downloaded WSE, but hadn't really done anything yet. I also have looked at a number of WS-Security articles.
These are things that I “need to know” but haven't found time - we have been releasing a Beta at work. Need to get back to priorities.
