I can't say I disagree. The 'official date' of 2006 for Longhorn is beginning to seem optimistic at best. And XAML, well, it's going to literally miss it's boat if it doesn't ship with Longhorn. Between now and then the best-of-breed of the XAML competitors (MyXAML, XUL, hopefully Vexi, and others) will have stolen the show. Given the poor history Microsoft of initial versions of software being, basically, buggy and unstable, will people want to use XAML when there are other proven technologies out there? And such technologies will be proven and widespread by the time it seems that XAML will make it to market. This, though, is good news from our perspectives. One less behemoth to worry about! -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Online @ http://charlie.vexico.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
