OK, rumours spread thick and fast around the blog community. This is the latest.
Ryan Dawson - Why there hasn't been development of IE? http://longhornblogs.com/rdawson/posts/496.aspx "The quick and dirty (2): XAML is basically an XML structure with CSS and JavaScript. The CSS defines the appearance and the JavaScript dictates behavior. " Simon Willison - Microsoft's XUL http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2003/10/24/microsoftsXUL "Of course, Microsoft might make it an open standard. But then I might win the lottery next week. " Eric Meyer - Corralled: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/200310.html#t200310024 "I want to be wrong. I want to think that XAML will be open, interoperable, available for anyone to hook into whether or not they're a partner or Longhorn developer. I want to believe that Safari and Mozilla will be able to surf the XAML sea just as effectively as Explorer. I also remember my history, and the past behavior I recall doesn't bode well for the future.
