Ok, I can agree to that. Gmail was defenitly the pioner that brought it to the public. I really like gmail btw.
Start.com has been my default home for months now though, and I prefer it to googles home. Not sure if you know, but start.com did launch prior to Google's home.
Have you had a chance to test the new yahoo mail? I'm still waiting to get my beta request approved...
"What typically sets Microsoft apart from other AJAX application providers is that they do not appear to be interested in the cross-browser capabilities of AJAX applications. One can speculate that Microsoft has ample motivation to use Windows and Internet Explorer-specific features that create a dependency between their AJAX apps, IE [Internet Explorer] and the Windows platform/ecosystem. This has been the case historically. "
Anyone who has tested the Atlas framework (MS version of AJAX for.NETE) knows that this is complete BS. The frame works includes scripts for all major browsers.
I guess MS is everyone fav to bash... But, MS was first with start.com, way ahead of Google's home attempt... MSN search returns better results for me. Google's results are getting worse and worse IMHO...
Sure MS is a huge corp that has done several "Evil" things... but so has most corp's and that will never change.
I find it odd that when Google releasees somethign new, even if BETA, everyone goes all "googleyish" over it, bt as soon as MSN does, it's all trash talk.
Compare maps.google.com to virtualearth.msn.com and tell me the later isn't better???
I'm no MS lover for sure, but give them some credit... at least once a while!

I have a hard time understanding how cashing of your said popular website can bring it to a crawl? If google chooses to show a cashed version of your website, your website is not even hit, hence it will save you processing power.
Speed up your browser without the help of Google..

Some simple tweeks to your browser, or registry (if you are using IE).

Basicly you increase the number of connections your browser can use to download content, ie your browser can download everything on a page at once instaed of doing a couple items at a time. It really makes a differece on "busy" sites with lot of content.
IE is set to defualt to use 2 measly connections...
lol
u are cracking me up!
U claim FREE and in the next sentence brag over how you make a living on charging for service and support??? Like I said nothing is for free.
Sure for you being someone smart enought to mod and actually understand the software, OSS i great! Its almost like an ego trip for you I think. "Look ma I can get this for free and I know how to tweak it... why don't you install it so I can come over and charge you when you have no idea what happend and there's no 1800 number to call..."
Hypocritical, YES!
Comparing software to freedom of speach is like saying that paper and pencil should be free of charge! Freedom of speach is somethign we exercise right here rigth and now. But guess what: "IT IS NOT FOR FREE"
I understand that, but what about the once that do?
Why don't you give me an example of things that are for free? It will be a VERY short list! There are allways hidden costs, advertising (gmail) etc.
Whe was the last time you picked up tools for free when you needed some work done on your house?
I'm just trying to understand what you mean by "free"...?
Over ONE billion in sales this last QT. 100% more than last year.
dot BOM... don't think so.
You can't complain about lower IT salaries and then complain when a company actually rewards its employees.
Twist and turn in anyway you want, but a bonus program is never wrong!
even funnier is that IKEA proved there cleverness by actually setting this website up. These guys own the domain name "elitedesigners.org": http://www.rblm.dk/
and guess who is their client???

my bad... yeah just realized i mentioned start.com being first...

BS!
www.live.com works in Firefox and so does start.com, both MS applications...
Yes Outlook Webaccess doens't, but to generelize and say MS applications don't is far from the truth.
uhhhhhhhhhhh ever heard of start.com???
Launched way ahead of Google's "home page"?
Also, myspace.msn.com is using Ajax...
I think it's more the case of press jumping on anything Googlish!

and??? Kinda hypocratic if you ask me... "I want my tools for free so I can build stuff I can charge for!"
What do all us "nerds" do with our time??? I got bills to pay? Anyone else???
I really don't get the argument that software should be free? Nothing is for free...
Heck if anything thing things that are required for humans to exists: food, power, shelter, etc should be free, but software???
Priorities???????
