    This is quite similar to XWT. XWT is often described as "A 'lite' version of Mozilla's XUL, packaged as an ActiveX/JavaApplet, using XML-RPC instead of XPCOM.

    From the xwt.org front page:

    XWT is the XML Windowing Toolkit. It lets you write remote applications -- applications that run on a server, yet can "project" their user interface onto any computer, anywhere on the Internet....

    Unlike all other remote-display technologies, XWT applications are usable and responsive regardless of network congestion, delays, and even complete network failures.

    The XWT Engine is packaged as both an ActiveX control and a Java applet, so you can access XWT applications from all major platforms (Win95/98/ME/NT/2k/XP, Linux, Solaris, MacOS X) without installing any additional software. It is distributed under an open source license (LGPL and GPL), so it can easily be ported to new platforms.

    There's a tutorial to walk you through creating a tic-tac-toe application and a comprehensive reference spelling out all the nitty gritty details about how the engine works.

  4. XWT by srichman · · Score: 2 · on The State of Remote Desktops?
    You might check out XWT. It's a lightweight windowing toolkit for web-based applications. He's got some cool demos. (Though the mail demo crashed my Mozilla when I tried to exit...)

    Also, as a former employee, I feel compelled to point GoToMyPC, which is like VNC, but with better compression, nicities like remote printing, and most importantly firewall penetration. (But, yeah, Windows only and expensive.)
