Let the platforming fight begin.

This is just a repeat of the browser wars again. First it was flash, then came java which was the "beginning and end" of platforms on which any app could be run. Then flash reinvented itself with acrobat.com. We have silverlight from MS. Google is pushing their gears. Now god knows what else M$ is coming up with.

In the end, we're going to see fragmentation in the marketplace, with incompatible platforms and apps, and the end user ultimately loses out. At least with the browser wars, there were some standards at least on paper (HTML / W3C) even though MS chose to break them all.
