Gates: XML will live for centuries
The importance of XML to Microsoft was reflected in some curious comments
Bill Gates made recently in an interview carried by IT Week [USA]. Asked
about the lifetime of XML, he said: "I'm sure there'll be XML data in some
of these systems for hundreds of years... I don't think anything will
replace XML... We love Visual Basic, Java, C and even Corba, and the rich
runtime of this message environment should be language neutral."

But there was also an ominous note in his remarks: "For some things... we
will get standard schemas. In some areas there won't be standard schemas, so
it's very important that our tools will have the ability to map between
them." Let us hope that such schemas are standard across the community, and
that the tools will allow proper interoperability. Microsoft could well
continue in this unusual innovative role of being the prime developer of XML
protocols, and become the legitimate technical leader. Imagine that.
