Hi,

  The Digital Web Magazine ran an interview with Chris
Hofmann (employee #1 of the new Mozilla foundation who
seems to be in charge of all Mozilla releases).

  Here's a quote from the section titled "What The
Future Holds":

  Digital Web: This may be another element whose
effect is too early to tell... Microsoft has stopped
development of a standalone browser and plans on
blending it in with the operating system. It’s also
developing an XML-based user-interface language
similar to XUL, the language initially created for
your products. What does this mean for Mozilla—both
the Foundation and its products?

  Chris: We are working up a high-level response to
Longhorn in the upcoming roadmap, which you should see
soon.

  It’s tough to comment on Microsoft’s plans for the
browser. I think I’ve seen recently where the company
might be wavering on the decision not to provide any
more IE releases.

  It would have been nice if Microsoft would have
adopted XUL as its XML user-interface language instead
of re-inventing the wheel. We are pushing forward with
getting XUL adopted as a W3C standard, and more people
are using it to develop all kinds of interesting
Internet applications. The combination of Mozilla’s
Web services capabilities and XUL offers a pretty
compelling set of tools.

   Any comments?
