John,
>I have to follow Mike on this one, but I think he is downplaying it. Webservices will become vital. Somebody will find a way to insure uptime, and WS will take over. Isn't this the same thing that happened when people were asked to pay a subscription fee to have electricity piped into thier homes?
I think you then have also missed my point. All I'm suggesting is that the functional availability of web services needs to be as close to absolute, 7x24 as is humanly possible and as such I will not trust my clients to a 3rd party web service.
Other than that I have no quarrels whatsoever with what Mike as asserted.
Best,
DD
