Sun Microsystems is poised to make its Java software play nicely with Microsoft's .NET software.
Sun said today that it is forging open source implementations of the key Web services specifications required to interoperate with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Microsoft's Web services platform, formerly known as Indigo.
With the implementations, programmers will be able to work with Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and WCF systems to create Web services software that runs on disparate computing operating systems, including Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Linux.
