1. Comment - Gauging the impact of the Office 14 delay

   Interesting article, yet more lame responses that are anti-Microsoft from Linux and Apple Fanboys who just don't even have their facts correct.. None of the Office formats are proprietary anymore..
   
   For those with any kind of Office 2007 document, try renaming the file extension from whatever it is to .zip and you can open and read the files as XML and separate graphics.. How much more open can you get??
   
   Here's a helpful suggestion for those who are having trouble learning office 2007's new ribbon and menus..

3. Comment - WPF/E Becomes 'Silverlight:' Microsoft Takes on Flash Directly

   (Apr 16, 2007 - 9:57 PM)

   I have been using WPF/E silverlight for months already in the preview version. It's a very cool multimedia system, though I really don't find it has much in common with Flash, mostly because it's very good at integrating with other Web technologies, like SQL databases, ASP.NET, PHP. The whole design methodology lends to serious customization (especially when using it as a media player). The whole thing is designed to just do what it needs to and integrate with other technologies. I like it's event model better than Flash and honestly it's good client technology even if you are a Mac developer.
