http://www.microsoft.com/net/ (cut/paste or click on link below)Basically
it is a new platform based on XML language that will make it easier for cross product
use---In a nutshell they are trying to standardize the internet so that you will
be able to "talk" to your refrigerator, and your T.V all the while getting scores
from a soccer game on your palm pilot, etc, etc.
I would try to explain it further,
but sometimes a link is enough to do the trick..

P.S
Microsoft is smart. If they tried to take over the DNS, the global governments
would have them split up so fast it would make the record books....Microsoft goal
all along (I believe) has been to be the #1 supplier of computer products.
Just like in the gold rush days the ones that made the biggest profits were the ones
who manufactured the "gold pans", the " covered wagons", etc, etc. A few years
ago, this realization made me change the way I approach e-biz...So far so good...
