[cfaussie] Re: Why buy into CF?

Oh, Microsoft have implemented XAML into IE 7 long long before we clued in onto that fact. You have to be a mug to not realise that the whole "Web application" concept threatened the very existance of an Operating Systems actual purpose as it was living out the hybrid dream of thin-ware deployment.

 

They tried ever so hard to make ends meet by throwing the "No Touch Deployment" concept back in the .NET 1.0 days, but sadly the .exe portion of the equation made a lot of IT Security experts quite nervous (which one would expect).

 

So don't be suprised if you will be able to run a Powerpoint presentation via Internet Explorer and yet haven't bought Office 12 at all? (the SDk's will be ingrained into the Vista Operating System).

 

They are after the same dream we had with HTML, download instruction and assemble using part internal and external components :)

 

Gotta love this whole Web 3.0 thing (i say 3.0 as it trumps the 2.0 concept me thinkith).

Scott,

 

That is something that is being discussed here too.

 

.Net has some very good advantages, as does Java and unlike Java it has evolved into something that can be considered a serious contender in client/server applications with the introduction of XAML.

 

And with the advent of Apollo around the corner, it does beg the question as where it leaves the market for a browser. M$ have included XAML into IE7.0, but that is limiting to everyone else who doesn't use IE7.0, but XAML can be designed as a standalone web application leaving the browser out of the equation, but is platform dependant at the moment, where Apollo will not be.

 

The browser has always been the interpreter for the current and past web applications, but it is really falling behind fast on the way technology is heading.

 

So Scott it does beg the question, what are we in for in the next few years.
