Funny. We seem to be reading the same sources :-) I found these relevant as well to the whole browser evolving to desktop thing ...
The first is from basically the lead for the Mozilla project, detailing how he sees the terrain shifting over the next few years. http://groups.google.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] The second references the first (which is how I found it!) and brings some thougts on how MS and Longhorn are going to change the landscape while some people won't get it until it is too late - referencing a bit of history to prove his point. http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2004/Apr-24.html The way I read the tea leaves, it is going to boil down to a combination of Gnome, Mozilla and Mono growing into a counterweight to Longhorn. Longhorn seems to be the biggest threat to Linux, the Internet as we know it and Open Standards/Protocols. Remember what happened to Netscape when IE4 came out? That is how Longhorn could upset web development and the web by extension, as we know it today. -- G.
