When asked about our view of the evolution of distributed architectures in the next few years during the TekZone round tables on Monday, I stated (among other things) the service oriented architecture-vision and was puzzled by the reaction of my discussion partners:

<quote>"You think about virtualization of endpoints and versioning of contracts during the evolution of a service while we are struggling, failing to connect to well defined endpoints in our current customer's projects."</quote>

That's frustration with existing middleware-projects and averseness to new standards like Web services that I didn't expect.

<quote>"Web services? We have enough trouble already with existing standards like CORBA."</quote>

This showed me once more how different viewpoints can be.
