Nor a zero-footprint install. And if what follows as applications are XML wall-to-wall, they won't be exactly small either. As I said, we tried this with the MID. As the client application becomes complex, the file sizes become staggering and that is just for the basic widgets. Anything going on inside the window (and that is most of the app) still has to be built, but assuming n-tier, that is server side or middleware. Of course the issue here is that a browser client of that size and capability begins to take over the operating system. That is precisely what the open source groups want (Revenge of the Ghost of Netscape) and what MS and other platform vendors have to consider going forward. It will be fun to see someone try to build MS Word and Excel in SVG/XForms. len From: Dare Obasanjo [mailto:dareo@m...] A browser-platform that understands [X]HTML/XForms/SVG/etc is not exactly what I'd call a thin client. ;)
