Two Microsoft executives who joined the inaugural session of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) panel on Web services just two weeks ago have already quit the standards body, raising questions about the software giant's desire to create interoperable technologies. Allen Brown, one of Microsoft's W3C representatives, and Greg Meredith, from Microsoft's Research, joined the group, attended the first meeting on March 13, and then abruptly resigned. Spokespeople from the W3C expressed confusion and disappointment over the decision.
