its not fair with Microsoft. Specially the way other software companies are fetching information from users.

ABC of an Endpoint

The message passing in Indigo is done by endpoints. Endpoint consists of ABC. A is address, B is binding and C is contract. By address we mean the URI of the location where the service is located or the address of the service. By B we mean the Binding which defines the Protocol, encoding, security transactions ECT and C is the contract of the Service i.e. what it is exposing to the outside world.

Microsoft Distributed Computation Technologies

Microsoft has 5 different Technologies for building distributed applications. To start with my favorite is .Net Remoting, it’s for communicating with .Net to .Net Apps cause then it is at its best. Then we have ASMX, also known as ASP.Net Web Services). Then ES (Enterprise Services) where you can manage object Lifetimes and define transactions in Distributed Environment. WSE or Web services Enhancement with WS-* specification. Last but not the least is MSMQ or Microsoft Message Queuing which is best suited for Windows based Applications.
