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."

    Lots of luck keeping up with Microsoft. Once they find they have competition they'll undoubtably come up with some stinky way to break your applications. Partners are less likely do suffer such a fate, but sometimes do anyway if Microsoft believes they need to retain all creative control.

    Of course, I could also be a cynic, considering Colton sold Live Software, he may be positioning his new venture for a buyout by Microsoft.

    Ob Simpsons: OK, boys, buy him out! .. I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks.

    One again, how much does one of the slashvertizements cost? I have some clients that would love to buy one but I am unable to get a price from you.

    Please let me know so we can do business together!

    Why post a story to Slashdot about your own product or service?

    Because it is a technical product that many technically minded people would care about...

    Why on earth would anyone use XAML over XUL which runs everywhere on every platform?

    Really now... have we sunk *that* low? We're cross-referencing slashvertisements with ad-articles from other news sites with commercial interests of their own?

    No matter how good XAMLon is, I (and likely other /.'ers) are much less likely to even *look* at the web site/article now... /. effect or not.

    They say it only supports IE on windows platforms but they're looking at Mono and Linux.
    The poster just said that to get this /. post approved. I RTFA and the site. This product is completely MS _ONLY_. It needs MS Visual Studio 2003 .Net, MS .Net 1.1, MS Windows and MS IE. Nothing else will work. The bum who posted this topic is just looking to get his company bought out (by getting free /. advertising), so don't think he/they will ever develop this technology further to work on non-MS stuff.
