SOA and good architectures with Microsoft
David Plummer, group vice president of Gartner Inc says:
The .NET architecture won't be used to the best advantage in enterprise systems unless Microsoft places greater emphasis on educating developers on how to build service-oriented systems. Until it does, the result will be the proliferation of thousands of very fragile systems that are neither reusable, scalable, nor all that flexible.
Is this really Microsofts responsibility? Or is it also the responsibility of the Microsoft community to establish best practices of their own, using the tools provided? Let's not get too spoiled.
