Fine! Now we only have to wait 5 years until Firefox/Mozilla can catch up (like last time);)
(They will have a problem with the build in.NET capability though!)
Contrary to common believes the future is not "Purely Web application", but a "combination of desktop and web applications".
Take streaming for example. If Glide were to allow unlimited streaming then a couple of hundred slashdotters could easily clog down a whole network, even if it was of Google dimensions.
Compare that to a service as ORB Networks, that works as a combination of desktop power and web. All that you publish stay on your computer but is published on web. All streaming goes direct from your computer. Also it is up to the user what to publish and not publish. Copyright laws are the user's responsibility as it should be.
Look no further than Microsoft two new Internet-based software services -- Windows Live and Microsoft Office Live to see how incredible more powerful "combination of desktop and web" is that only desktop applications or only web applications.
So sorry, web apps is not going to do the trick (taking on Microsoft)
Microsoft Leads Port80 Web Server Study
According to the survey, 53.5 percent of the sites surveyed ran Microsoft IIS. This was more than double the 19.3 percent running Apache. http://thewhir.com/marketwatch/mic030304.cfm
This Netcraft statistic is comfort drug to the Slashdot's unwashed masses. If you instead count only real servers own by the company (dedicated servers) IIS is 4-5 times more used then Apache.
To bundle 500-1000 different IP customers together on one computer distort the statistic. But Slasdot is never known for reason, logic and common sense of course.
And here is one of them:

1) If the LGPL allows you to call libraries but not GPL why doesn't all that runs on Linux has to be GPL?
2)"GPL licenses retain their copyright". What happens if A (that has all the copyrights) publishes under GPL. B makes a derivative work and also publishes under GPL. After 1 000 000 copies is out A changes their license to a commercial license one?
Dear mr. Anonymous Coward!
"criminal organization"
He Department of Justice has not formally alleged that Microsoft is breaking any antitrust law. Instead, Justice claims that Microsoft is violating its 1995 settlement of an earlier, untried antitrust suit
Morover, in Pricewaterhouse Coopers survey, published today (2003-01-20), based on 1000 CEO's opinions in 20 countries, Bill Gates is ranked first as an company leader - and Microsoft as the most repected company (together with General Electric). This is in addtion to the former survey, which showed Microsoft as "Most Desired IT Employer of 2002". So how goes this together with the constant bashing of Microsoft in this forum?

Some people advocates a truce between the two camps. I don't think so.
After this massive campaign from the Java/UNIX/Oracle camp with half-truths, slander, innuendoes, arrogance, personal attacks as well as down right lies, encouraging hyperbole, paranoia and hatred?
Never - it will be fight to the end.

That I can tell you:
Because they are serious contract consultants in mission critical enterprise business and not Slashdot teenagers.
"Many smaller company websites are hosted by service providers running Linux servers even if the company itself isn't".

Some day the Linux losers will wake up and realize how patetique this again and again "report bought by Microsoft" sounds to others.
