Pretty cool interview with Ari Bixhorn on the vision for Indigo, and what it will provide. 

“Indigo provides a unified programming model that enables developers to build service-oriented applications explicitly—loosely coupled, autonomous services that provide end-to-end security and reliable messaging assurances...

We take the functionalities that are provided in our existing distributed application programming models, and we expose them to the developer through a single namespace within the .NET Framework. Whereas today, developers have to use separate programming models provided by WSE, ASMX, System.Messaging, System.EnterpriseServices, and .NET Remoting, Indigo will bring the best aspects of these together. If you're a VB.NET or C# programmer, you simply reference the System.ServiceModel assembly, then import that into your code. This gives you access to all the functionality that exists in today's disparate technologies and more through a consistent, productive programming model.”
