Microsoft builds its next-generation Windows and XML technology (Microsoft .NET initiative) development tools, IBM is a good medicine for the e-commerce, and even SUN declares that XML is related to Java.
"Everyone is looking for a way of working ability, so you can have a very different software without any knowledge," Dzubek said, "XML will be the next killer to mix the international business language. It will become and IP is like being popular. I heard that no one is not against it. "
