how does the DHTML thing work, I wonder if it is cross browser. Ie as much as Flash is.
Bindows doesn't work at all in Safari ("not supported" - and Safari is now the default Mac browser). I haven't tried in the other browsers here... hang on...
Camino (based on Mozilla) - nope, not supported Mac IE - nope, not supported Mac Mozilla/Firebird - partial support, some apps work and some don't Mac Opera - nope, not supported
The applauncher sample is almost identical to the Flex sample explorer - list of apps in the left column, source code view, live view. Interestingly, it didn't perform all that well (in Mozilla, at least) - several operations were slower than the equivalent in Flex-generated Flash apps (and some were faster, to be fair). The app initialization speed was almost on a par with Flex as well. But the real killer for me was the enormous amount of JavaScript in some of those examples!!! Good grief!! MenuTest2.xml is *terrifying* in its complexity.
Still, it's an interesting approach and the actual generated UI is quick slick - when it works (in Mozilla). Based on the prices quoted in this thread, it would cost the web team here somewhere between $9k and $14k, possibly more, to deploy Bindows (depending on how they define 'developers' - and it wouldn't even work for a very vocal segment of our market).
