Microsoft announced on Friday that Indigo is all set to ship in 2006, with the planned support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.  This is great news.  With Whidbey shipping next year, with improved ASMX support (see Christian’s series), and WSE 3.0 some time between now and Longhorn it looks like there’ll be plenty of reasons to keep targeting Windows as the platform of choice for developing service-oriented applications.
