- 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. For that they are significant, but...

- Why Do People Hate Building Desktop Applications?

- Keep an eye on WPF/E
- Theres been some buzz today on the web about WPF/E. Simon asks if Microsoft is screwing it up, while Robert talks about the future of .NET. WPF/E is a tough product. The codename was supposed to imply that it would be WPF everywhere, but when it was released, it was...

With technologies like Flash and "WPF/E" were able to create some great in-browser experiences, but there is still something lacking. But its often difficult to get people to buy into the need for...
