MIXing it up at the coming of age party for Rich Internet Applications: Im getting on a plane at 8:00 Pacific Time to head for Las Vegas and Microsofts MIX conference.

The how and when of Adobe and Microsoft's Rich Internet Application technologies: Now that Silverlight is being talked about, people seem to be comparing Apollo and Silverlight in the same posts. I think this stems from the fact that both are still alpha/beta and that the two technologies "cross the streams" into the other companies territory.

A list of Rich Internet Application Technologies for the Digg crowd: This comment thread made me realize that there is still a lot of confusion about what the different RIA technologies do.

With their RIA tech, Microsoft could toast Google in the SaaS world: I have to hand it to Phil, he called me out and pwned me.
