When Longhorn is released, the whole .net Architecture is going to change yet again. The entire way of writing Windows programs is supposed to be modified..i.e. completely reworked, to use some new indigo messaging system.
This is supposed to work hand in hand with their Avalon interface elements to make the whole question of a 'browser' obsolete, as your desktop apps with rich windows interface elements will seamlessly connect to Indigo services and you won't know , or care, whether you are looking at a report from your machine, or from the company's webserver...or where your latest CNN news report is coming from...a file on your harddisk on a scheduled download, or straight from the CNN news server with an interface that looks just like a local Windows Application. I believe that is their goal with the next version of Windows, LongShot or whatever it's called. So from what I've read, it's a foregone conclusion that .Net is going to change drastically, and may not even be called .Net . It might survive for Backwards compatibility. JAVA will still be JAVA though ^_^. And PHP will still be PHP. And now lord alone knows what CF , Dreamweaver, and Flash is going to become. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:154379 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
