Hey Scott if that is the new xaml, and web expression suite I have to say it looks very impressive. And when I saw the beta of this at the time Flex 2 was released I knew Adobe are behind the eight ball when it comes to their IDE, as the M$ one kicks but.

Heya, Yeah, web expression has been getting some thumbs up from my end. I'm still getting to know it and what not, but going from UI design to say WPF or WPF/E (using BLEND) is so streamlined it doesn't require thought at all. So I'll blog more on that later. Microsoft do have a compelling story to tell in terms of development environment. It's one thing to focus on the output and compare the two (i'll leave that to the politics) but if you're correct when it comes to the input (developers, developers, developers as Mr Balmer once said). Its fairly streamlined and easy to run with. Its still lite in some places, such as Sidebar Gadget Development. In that I'm building one now for a VIP Client to illustrate some power, and essentially it requires you to take leaps of faith in terms of code then debug/preview (pretty much similiar to the AJAX approach). SideBar Gadgets for the CF'er is JavaScript HTML. So you can make a SideBar gadget in windows Vista that talks to Coldfusion WSDL quite easily (in fact thats what I plan to do over next week). the API is realistically a Microsoft hand-rolled AJAX approach to things. The added benefit though is you can automate your hard work using the Microsoft.FeedManager API (so RSS is a breeze). So I think from the Coldfusion Developer perspective there is some harmony here in terms of using it to display CFML driven goodness if need be (hell you can even embed an IFRAME into SideBar Gadget that has FLASH inside that or CFML rolled HTML). Let me know if i'm overselling the MS stuff but I do believe that folks here can find some harmony with Windows Vista and coldfusion quite easily - fingers in both barrells, why not I say On 1/10/07, Andrew Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Scott if that is the new xaml, and web expression suite I have to say it looks very impressive.
