  1. Somebody has to say it on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 1

    Oh... so my poor vision is caused by my EXCITEMENT, not what I DO when I am so horn^h^h^h^h happy.

  2. Xaml is .NET on Kurt Cagle's OpenSVG Keynote · · Score: 2, Informative

    I am sorry, but it does not seem that the presenters know what they are talking about.
    Xaml is NOT the same as XUL. It is Microsoft trying to keep everyone using .NET and thus Windows
    Also XaMLaN is the exact opposite of true Xaml - it converts C# code to FLASH.
    I have programmed in XAML for months, and it really is just another abstraction layer - sort of a way to build applications like a Web AND like a rich GUI
    You can do this today with some free frameworks out there - this just has a standard method for managing state and page history for Windows Apps, and also allows more responsive web apps.
    Microsoft is also trying to add AJAX for the nice JavaScript drive apps, but it probably will not ship with the Vista.
    Mind you - I would still have love to go and see this conference...... To meet the presenters, not to partake of any extra curricular activities in the Netherlands. :)
