Nat spoke about some developments at Microsoft - the merging of a bunch
of teams for Avalon/XAML. Now have a single team for web and native
desktop rendering. GNOME and Mozilla needs to align to counter this. One
big fear moment was at the recent Microsoft PDC, with Amazon demoing
their site written using XAML and pretty compelling reasons for using
it. Nat believes the options are
o Gain market share before Longhorn comes along
o Clone XAML
o Develop something new, cross-platform, and
offering a rich web experience as well as a
great native integration story, and getting
the big players involved. With this we have
a single library - the tarball is the standard. If
we're interested in a unified solution [GTK+ and XUL],
how do we mix the two? How do we approach cross
platform, without slowing down the schedule of each
project?
