eldavojohn writes "IBM is attacking Microsoft for their Service-oriented architecture (SOA) which is only interoperable betwixt Microsoft systems. IBM Software Group executive Steven Mills told ZDNet.co.uk that "We want to be frictionless in transactions as we rethink business-processes models. Transaction integrity requires sustained access flow, and Microsoft doesn't do that. Microsoft is about passing messages from one Windows-based system to another, not about involving the transaction function. SOA is not just about the message-passing architecture, which is why Microsoft SOA is significantly different from IBM. The [Microsoft] MSDN mechanism is a lightweight messaging infrastructure in a message-based environment, whereas IBM delivers a fully functioning infrastructure." This may sound like nitpicking but it is very important when you are a company looking for a true SOA solution (one of the selling points of which is true interoperability) and Microsoft is advertising it."
