Whether You Care Or Not, A Chance At A Free XSLT 2.0 Michael Kay Title Is Worth The Effort

Signs on the Sand: XSLT 2.0 and Microsoft Unofficial Survey

Not that I would want to encourage anybody who truly doesn't care one way or another to go cast your opinion in Oleg's survey, but for those who do care but wouldn't go to the effort normally, the enticement of a free XSLT 2.0 title from Dr. Kay should give you a bit more incentive.

NOTE: This is a direct copy-and-paste from Oleg's recent post. The entire content of the post is important so hopefully Oleg can see fit to forgive me for Pirating the entire post ;)

via XSLT 2.0 and Microsoft Unofficial Survey

Moving along business cases Microsoft seeks to implement XSLT 2.0 I'm trying to gather some opinion statistics amongs developers working with XML and XSLT. So I'm holding this survey at the XML Lab site:

Would you like to have XSLT 2.0 implementation in the .NET Framework?

The possible answers are:

* Yes, I need XSLT 2.0
* Yes, that would be nice to have
* No, continue improving XSLT 1.0 impl instead
* No, XSLT 1.0 is enough for me

Vote now and get a chance to win the "XSLT 2.0" book by Mike Kay!

When the survey ends (probably in a month or so) one lucky survey taker from whatever part of the world choosen randomly will get the book.

Note: you have to be registered on the Xml Lab site to vote. Sorry, but I need some simple way to identify the winner. Registration is simple and public - no email verification or something like, just fill in your name, password and email, get registered and then vote.

Take your chance to influence Microsoft's decision on XSLT 2.0 and win XSLT 2.0 book!
