LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Ok as much as I'd love to I won't really bash MS.

The only mistake I will talk about is thinking that there is a market for this. This is not only for MS but for Sun with JavaFX and Adobe with Air/Flex or whatever it is. They are all trying to push this RIA stuff either ahead of its time or in a direction people don't care about. People simply want to be able to see a movie in their browser. Most don't even realize Flash is a resource hog and don't care about all the other bells and whistles like pulling it out on your desktop.

The other problem is that these technologies are pushed as a way to bring the ability to be artistic to the developer. The only problem is that this doesn't give the developer creative ability. Tossing out ActionScript and plugging in C# doesn't make the .Net developer any more creative...same for Sun and JavaFX.

There simply isn't that much that interesting for the average user in RIA. Its just a big bunch of buzz that only insiders are hyped about.
