Of course, I wrote that half tongue-in-check...

Well, I don't remember such a test, and even less checking a box specifying I want to receive annoucements, but then again, my memory may be bad... > Give them the benefit of the doubt. They're small, they're keen, and they > believe immensely in their product. I did: "It was close from a spam mail". _Close_ is the key word, some other people would have been less keen... It was a kind of hot reaction, I have nothing against Mobiform and their business, and actually nothing against XAML. Jan wrote: "The future is XAML!". He is right, currently it is still in the future, ie. as stable as SVG 1.2 for example... That's just another Microsoft technology, like it spits dozen a year, like VML for example. Would it meet success, would it be forgotten like VML? Nobody knows. I devote much of my time to learn SVG and improve my skills, I don't have the time to spend on a vaporware, even if some make it more real. Actually, I just don't have the time to spend there, like I don't want to learn .Net technology. I would rather spend my time to learn Java and improve my MFC skills, as they are currently much more asked for in job offers, at least in France... SVG is another story, a love story ;-) I have nothing against these technologies: should I find a job requiring to know them, I would happily learn them, like I recently studied XSL(T) because I had an interview for a job requiring this knowledge. But one have only one life, and some of this time is spend away from the computer... -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- Professional programmer and amateur artist -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
