Thanks Henry. Do you also happen to know what the idea-goal of the .Net-project is? A few central Microsoft Servers and the rest of the world attached to them?

Post title: XML is a way to pass data from one application to another

W3C says, \"Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.\"

Basically, XML is a way to pass data from one place to another. Compared to HTML, it has the advantage of marking up text according to what it *means* instead of *how it should be shown*. It can look something like this:

\"Anticipating the emergence of Miscorsoft .NET as a =

significant internet development platform, we launched the world\'s first =

Visual .NET Localization Solution. Integrated with our award winning XML =

technology, it has enabled our clients penetrate international markets\"

Can somebody give some more about Microsoft.net and the integration of XML in localisation technology?

As I understand Microsoft.net it is MsIntention to have central server to which everybody has to log-in to Ms-servers and hire software-time? That would give Ms world-control given that every company and instution would depend upon Ms?

XML is what?
