When SOAP can do everything that Corba can do, and as efficiently, it 
might stand a chance of displacing it. I see SOAP as essentially an ugly 
bloated NIH response of the Microsoft camp to an open specification that 
achieved all its goals in an elegant way. And all to allow inappropriate 
remote-method execution through port 80 to avoid the corporate firewall. 
Which ultimately just made firewalling port 80 that much more difficult.

Microsoft is a poor church, and very uncaring of its adherents. So take 
your religious reasons and leave Corba alone until SOAP is an effective 
competitor ;-)
