Why is it such a great day to create interoperable services, you ask? Well, (thanks to Dave Bettin for the heads up!) because WSE 2.0 has been released.
Let's just say that I'm extremely excited. Take-a-day-off-and-play-with-this excited. I'm a bit bummed that there's no WS-RM, but at this point, you won't hear me complain. I will say this -- I really hope that the next release cycle is a wee bit shorter. WSE is the “speedboat” for WS-I early adopters -- here's to hoping it stays off the reef.
