Flash, Meet Sparkle

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the anything-you-can-do dept.

Robert writes "Microsoft finally released more information about their Sparkle product on a Channel 9 MSDN video. Sparkle is vector based XAML system for doing applications that may have traditionaly been done in flash. Ars Technica's Josh Meier has a few things to say about it, too."

    So Sparkle is like a graphic designer's version of Interface Builder for OS X... but "vector based" which means... hmm, Windows users will now get Flash-like wackiness for interfaces?

    Dude MS is making a flash killer. It's gonna KILL flash. Macromedia is as good as dead now. So nobody better buy macromedia products or use flash or nothing. MS is going to kill flash. I know because Ballmer threw a chair across the room! MS is going to kill macromedia right after they kill borland, novell, google, oracle, SAP, Sony, Nintendo, and AOL.
