XAML Development Today, But Not From Microsoft
Paul Colton writes "My company, Xamlon, has just released its flagship product, also called Xamlon. It allows for XAML development on all supported Windows platform, from Win98 through Longhorn. We're also investigating Mono and Java as possible development targets. CNET recently wrote a story of our launch."
Say goodby to babyshit brown!
Well, if you watched the demo movie then you'd know! :p
...but haven't yet managed to master the scary art of proofreading.
The post is probably yet another mean for happy ./oters to bark against Microsoft
./oters?
Dot-Slashoters? Sounds like some funky teenage slang for drugs.
Why post a story to Slashdot about your own product or service?
/. were just about fuel cell powered, linux running, beowulf-clustered, fighting room vacs, we couldn't pass off reading it as *work*. Having an article about XAML in one tab, we can flip to that when the PHB walks by and say "yeah, I was just keeping up with tech... cool stuff this XAML..."
Because it is a technical product that many technically minded people would care about...

Thank you for not only supplying proof that "per say" does not exist in the wild, but also concrete evidence that "pedantic asshole" exists and thrives in its natural environment, Slashdot.

"Microsoft Buys Xamlon"
My company tried getting into XML but found that HTML solves most of our issues, while XML was way too complicated for our web pages.
I mean, we couldn't even find a tag for BOLD. Any tool that will make XML easier would sure be welcome by the developers at our firm.

"Do I know more than you about your own language???
Its "per se" and it's latin."
Unless the author of the original post is around 2000 years old and dead I would suspect that Latin isn't their language.
To be a proper pedant you should probably spell its without the apostrophe and capitalise Latin as a proper noun.
English seems to have many spellings over the years, "per say" got the meaning across well enough for me.
You forgot to pluralize platform. Your sentence should read, It allows for XAML development on supported Windows platforms.
Grammatically, you can't possibly list supported operating systems in the article by date without explaining yourself, so you should have linked to a page [xamlon.com] that would show the supported operating system.

Cool stuff, I just used it to nuke your comment. Thanks!
