  5. Re:no, the cat HASN'T got my tongue. on Firefox - The Platform · · Score: 1, Funny

    I dont understand why people are comparing ActiveX and XUL. Mozilla based products have a plugin system similar to ActiveX, that's the way Flash, Java, Acrobat, SVG, Quicktime, Realplayer, even Windows Media Player run, but it has nothing to do with XUL.

    ActiveX is dead. God bless XAML!. The enemy of Firefox+XUL+Javascript is IE7+XAML+.NET, and because .NET is a secure platform as Java is (ok, stop laughing), and XAML is XUL using .NET components, and .NET will be embedded in every MS OS then every XAML web app will run out-of-the-box on any Windows desktop, that's the real threat to Firefox/Mozilla. Oh, and don't forget every mobile device running a MS OS, there's no embedded XUL engine to run there.

    Sure XAML+.NET will be a security nigthmare, but security wasn't a problem to MS till now. Hire more marketing guys and let them convince the world. Just write your XAML file, give your customers the URL, and it's done!.
