one marketeer said to the other, "doesn't matter if it works or not, I still win." :)
I find it nuts they said this about HTML5 for enterprise apps. I suppose the decision came after the same marketeers gushing about HTML5 surveyed CEOs and CTOs that consume their gushings and make decisions. May the circle, be unbroken.... :) But heck, I guess a enterprise can push out IE only and not worry about this spotty browser support for HTML5. I just recalled the other day the main reason I took up Flex/Flash back in 2005 or so: I freaking hate JavaScript. Now this 'new' HTML5, aka DHTML for 2010+, is the rage. Time to break out some JavaScript Pain Medications again :) Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?
