Yep… there is a Bill and he is a
contender. Yet John From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Menzel Let's remember though where MS and Apple used to be and where they are
today. Let's also remember what Browser is sitting on the majority of desktops
today. And, in both cases, MS was a late bloomer. I'm not on anybody's side, but history has already shown that where
there is a will there is a Bill. Regards,

you want a full feature set… and it is very resource intensive today. That one
if reports are accurate should be easy to combat with Flex 2. Microsoft always
hooks products to sell other products. They give you something cheap that will
fail you when you need to do something very serious. It's how they capture the
enterprise market. I don't know they won't play nice… but beware of Trojan
Horse gifts! I am only skeptical because MS has been a part of my reality from
DOS 1.x and they have played a centric game all the way. (P.S. I still like and
use some of the products they have… my outlook isn't totally gloom.) Also… the better question is what will MS be doing to catch
up with Adobe Flex and Flash tools. For some reason you are thinking that a
product that isn't out is already seated against a product that is out. With
Adobe clout pushing Flash and Flex 2 this is not a given that MS will win.
(Study your history… MS tried to come out with a Flash alternative 3 years ago.
It died and they started using flash all over their sites!) Macromedia has
already won the first round of the battle… the XML language is only round two
and this time it's the combined force of MM with Adobe. John Farrar P.S. Even Oracle is not in beta for a free version of the DB
server, Google is going to help promote Star Office… and there is much going on
that says the crest of MS dominance seems to have started to curl! HEH! From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of Ung, Seng All: I am wondering how Micromedia/Adode plans on conteracting the
future of XAML? Any ideas of the pricing for Xaml? Thanks Seng Ung ---------------------------------------------------------- An archive of the CFCDev list is available at www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
