I find it an interesting combination of vendors - one which does 'everything'
via SOAP but not that active in SOA standardization and another one which never
was a Web Services or SOA leader...
Another interesting question - how this alliance matches the SCA initiative
(submission to OASIS) from 18 companies which was viewed as a response from
Java world to MS WCF?

<<Project Tango is an open source initiative for the implementation of
Web services technologies involving optimization, reliability,
security and atomic transactions. It is a joint venture by Sun
Microsystems and Microsoft, intended to provide interoperability
between Sun's Java Web services and Microsoft's Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF). An important component of Project Tango is known as
Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT), which facilitates the
development and maintenance of composite applications for service
oriented architecture (SOA). Sometimes the terms "Project Tango" and
"WSIT" are used interchangeably.
In the context of Project Tango, reliability ensures that a
communications system is able to recover from failures caused by lost
or misdirected messages. This is done by a function called
WS-ReliableMessaging that can be activated by means of a checkbox in a
GUI (graphical user interface) called NetBeans. A specification called
WS-Security facilitates the integrity and confidentiality of messages,
even when they must pass through intermediaries. WS-Security can be
implemented in addition to existing security technologies. Atomic
transactions technology is designed to ensure that all operations
within a transaction are successfully carried out. If any operation
fails, all other operations in the transaction are aborted. Content
can be encoded in MIME (Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions) or XML
(Extensible Markup Language) to optimize communication speed.>>
Do any of you have any direct experience of Tango as described above?
If so it would be interesting to read your opinion of it.
