XML was designed to free us from people just like us. It frees you from Microsoft and it frees Microsoft from you. That is the fact. Now some will have to decide just what they want to tighten down and what they wish to innovate on, but dynamic clients are going to be a fact of life whether they are XAML, XUL, or something else. Smart product planners will be figuring out how to recast their products into a service-oriented architecture which means opening up for anyone to write a client to. Smart developers will be figuring out how the policies of an enterprise type can be abstracted into rules for dynamically creating clients commensurate to the role of the user requesting a service to which they are entitled. The web is plumbing; not the washing machine. Pick the model that lets you adjust the load capacity and the hot/cold cycles according to the clothes to be washed. The pipes are just there. len From: Gerald Bauer [mailto:luxorxul@y...] We are past the world of generating static snapshots of display and blasting them down to a client. Most desktop computers you buy today have 2+Ghz CPU, >256MB of RAM, and a massive hard disk. Use them! Make your application be so engaging and productive for your customers that they want to buy it. Now if that doesn't clear up the confusion. I don't know what does. Any comments?
