I read an article in PC Mag and Maximum PC about web 2.0 (aka AJAX) --
similiar to ClickOnce with the exception it is supposed to run across more
than Microsoft's OS. But I thought part of the draw to AJAX was that it
could do a lot more graphically and provide a much better user interface
experience similiar to the draw for ClickOnce. ClickOnce seems to have a
more direct link with the OS and DirectX so it will be the more powerful
technology of the two in terms of GUI and performance, but at the cost of
single platform.
The sooner we move away from the melting pot called "web development", the
better -- what I really need is more focus on efficient distributed client
side computing, what we have now is a hodge bodge drain on both client and
server with inefficiencies at both ends and huge security issues (especially
on the client side which opens the hole into the server side). The
Interface should always be client side, data server side -- a classic
efficient model that works.
If Microsoft had a clue, they'd realize they need to get .NET framework out
on Mac OS and Linux at the same time they get it out on Windows OS. Stop
saying "that's too difficult" or "we don't have the resources" and get over
yourselves and realize that if ya really wanna squash the competition get
your tools ON the competitions platform.

With all the web 2.0 hype out there, I'm finding that .net isn't playing
much of a role. Nearly everything out there getting publicity is PHP or
ROR based.
Which leads me to the question: Anyone see some web 2.0-centric
applications out there based on .net?
