i've read specs, watched demonstrations, i've TRIED to be excited, but all
i can tell is that it's another proprietary tech trying to cash in on a
growing market.
Which specs did you read and which demos did you watch? Certainly not
the same ones I've read and watched. First of all Sparkle doesn't even play
the same *sport* as Flash, let alone in the same field. The uses of Sparkle
in the browser will be next to nil for at least several years. The few uses
it has in a browser will be reserved for special purpose, controlled
enviornment applications, and are in no way a threat to Flash. So I guess I
don't know where any of this rant comes from.
Sparkle is awesome. It is a major step in the right direction in terms
of workflow improvement and abstraction of display (view, presentation,
whatever) layer code. It has little to nothing to do with the web right now.
It has to do with building user interfaces for applications that will run on
Longhorn.
Yes, it's properietary. So is Windows. Get over it and find something
meaningful to argue about.
Oh, and your rant about forcing people to use PC hardware, WTF? What
platform *doesn't* use PC hardware these days?
