eWeek: "Microsoft Reaches out to Domino"

I don't see the article online yet, but in the November 8, 2004 edition of eWeek is a small article in the News & Analysis section that talks about the first deliverable from the Microsoft outreach program being released in January. It is a toolkit that lets one create Notes/Domino based Web services using MS Development tools. It goes on to state that Microsoft had a workshop on this last month. It also has a quote from Bob Balaban, a former Lotus/Iris employee, that was interesting:

They've got guys like Gary [Devendorf], who is fabulous at what he does, but they need to get their senior development people to talk to people who know how to build collaborative applications," Balaban said. "They really don't get it."
