Benefit of Standards-based UI out the Window... great...
Agree with KB on this...

I bet RAVE looks/works fantastic on a mobile device - if it runs this environment. So much for the mobile salesforce!

And leaving Mac and Linux off the table in 2008 is just insane. Haven't we learned anything about market share? You want FEWER barriers to entry, not more.

Use Flex or something that has multi-platform properties if you want to break out of the limits of the browser.

And for CRM... to make sure I'm following this - Salesforce.com, THE poster child for SaaS-success must have it all wrong then, eh? Browser-based access from anywhere, nothing to install, hmm, yes, clearly CRM can't be done with all of the limits of browsers. The Web 2.0, Office 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 movements, also wrong. Google's entire enterprise application play, wrong as well.

Oy vey! Thumbs down on this post.

Maybe the business metrics warrant the move to non-browser based implementation, but I wonder how long lasting that bump in sales will last.
