Will AJAX Threaten Windows Desktop?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thin-clients-strike-back dept.

prostoalex writes "They are not your father's HTML pages anymore. AJAX interfaces are getting more complex and versatile, relieving the user of the necessity to reload the page, and thus are becoming more like your average desktop apps. The catch? AJAX apps work in any browser out there, making the OS layer a bit irrelevant. Will the trend threaten Microsoft desktop near-monopoly? Or are we hearing the story of poorly debugged device drivers again?"

    Yes! And I also think computers should be used for scientific reasons only. Quit playing games on your PC, you have a game console for that... and movies? Sheesh, you have a DVD player!

    I mean, sheesh, why use the potential functionality of a certain device if you can also do it on a seperate device!
