On the subject of web-enabled apps versus apps-as-plugins; check out
http://www.asktog.com/readerMail/1999-08ReaderMail.html
for some good information and commentary. The gist of it is, if you need
control over the user environment, if you need to do more than a very
simple application, then don't do it in a browser.
Obviously this depends on the strength of MC's implementation within a
browser. But my vote goes for improvements to MC, not trying to make it
run inside a browser.
