[CNET] Hasso Plattner, co-chairman of SAP says "This industry will not survive in the next 20 years with applications built by a few big companies," Plattner said during his keynote speech. "This industry will only survive if there is a community of developers building applications that can work together across many systems."
Ok. I agree that interop is a Good Thing. Somehow Plattner sounds quite like Dave when he tells the world, that SmallCo's will have to stand up and work together. Funny thing that Platter comes from one of the larger BigCos ...
I nevertheless believe that Plattner doesn't really care about interop. I guess his only challenge is to keep SAP sales in a market that's somewhat saturated - but ok, as long as his way to reaching the target is the same as ours, it's fine by me.
