This is not surprising if you assume that Microsoft invested lots of resources to make their entire database product line work with XML-Data. >From my past experiences with them, they will probably hit with XML-Data support in Microsoft Access and then move on to ODBC, OLE DB, and so on. It will hurt them to use RDF because of time and because competitors of MS are going through RDF route. If MS slows down RDF approval process, MS gains big and competitors will have wasted lots of money going after RDF. Anyway, I am not for MS nor against MS. I just think they are making a brilliant strategic move despite the fact that MS is moving right toward where I am (yes, I am in the XML-Database arena). You can be an ant and still enjoy the thrill of jousting with an elephant. I am looking forward to it, matter fact...
