Well, a friend of mine is helping to write a plug-in for IE right now, that'll work with MyXaml. After we get the IE plug-in working, we'll take a look at Firefox. He also says: "XAML In the next few years it is likely that Microsoft will launch XAML as their interface-standard of choice. However, it seems that Microsoft won't want XAML to be used for web applications. Why? Well, they'll probably lose dominance of the operating system market even more quickly as a result. This has been stated by others, my guess is that XAML will be tied down into Longhorn as tightly as possible." Which is where I think MS is making a big mistake. I suspect they'll figure this out on their own though. Besides, is the above really an accurate statement, when this statement is made (http://longhornblogs.com/robert/archive/2004/06/18/3731.aspx): " So, if Microsoft wants to blur the lines between a web site and an client-side application, what makes you think that the next version of IIS will not support serving up XAML to the client. Instead of getting a limited browser experience at http://www.longhornblogs.com/default.aspx, what if you could get a super-interactive experience with the full power of the client at http://www.longhornblogs.com/default.xaml? What if, on a mobile device, you could use web services to allow location-aware applications ultra-dynamic, serving up XAML UI code along with data? A thick thin-client? Talk about a contradiction in terms. The possibilities become greatly expanded if you beging looking at what's in front of you instead of looking behind your shoulder at what's behind you."
