I attended a MS sponsper seminar last week up in Washington DC and the instructor said "Web services or services is what we all should be writing because the next OS will be all about services and it's the best migration path to Inidigo. Anyway, the guy greatly impressed me and for once, if what he says is true (and it probably is), at least this time, I'm not gonna be playing catch up on the new technology.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Smith Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 11:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Middle-Tier Hosting: Remoting vs. Enterprise Services I'm getting conflicting opinions on what is the best technology to host middle-tier .NET components. Mine is a typical 3-tier scenario, with each of the tiers on separate boxes. I've got both internal and external clients that will use these services (components). I was working in an IIS hosted/HTTP binary remoting direction, but now it's been suggested to me that not only will Enterprise Services give me far greater productivity (because of the ability to leverage it's services - transactions, security, etc), but also that it's actually the best migration path to Inidigo, contrary to what many say (including Don Box). Also I'm told that Enterprise Services do NOT involve interop "most of the time". I'm just looking for any educated opinions that anyone may have on this topic. I've read mostly negatives about ES and .NET, and never heard that it's the best migration to Indigo. I've got several projects coming down the pipe and I've got to make some decisions quickly, so any input is greatly appreciated.
