Microsoft's XUL







Microsoft's XUL

Microsoft's XUL 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

According to this Microsoft blogger the reason IE development has seemed quiet of late is that they've been working hard on XAML, an XML Application Markup Language which is a way to create applications in the browser (or out for that matter) [...] It is basically an XML structure with CSS and JavaScript. The CSS defines the appearance and the JavaScript dictates behavior.

Sound familiar? It should do - that's exactly what XUL does. On the plus side, this completely validates the grossly under-appreciated importance of Mozilla's biggest secret. On the negative side, this looks set to represent the ultimate browser lock-in - in a few years time when IE 7 comes as standard on new PCs I wouldn't be surprised to see the corporate software development world moving almost exclusively to this technology - after all, it's going to be extremely easy both to develop and to distribute and it will have all of the benefits of a web application without the downside of the restricted GUIs offered by HTML.

Of course, Microsoft might make it an open standard. But then I might win the lottery next week.

I wonder if it will be possible to transform XAML in to XUL using XSLT?

Update: It has been pointed out that the author of the above blog entry is not a Microsoft employee.

Microsoft's New MSN TV


Microsoft's New MSN TV 08/11/2004 11:01 PM
Microsoft is getting ready to unleash an updated version of its MSN TV service according to a review over at Design Technica. This update will contain a completely redesigned broadband Internet receiver and of course new services. You can get Microsoft’s MSN TV terminal at major retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Amazon.com, and others, beginning this October at $199.

Microsoft’s MSN TV terminal will allow users to play digital media, send/receive e-mail, and of course browser the Internet. Just image it all from the comfort of your favorite chair you can view recorded/download digital videos and listen to your favorite music (as long as Windows Media Player supports that format). No, Microsoft isn't stopping there; users will also be able to view their favorite pictures. Either with an integrated photo viewer or some kind of a slideshow application. The receiver has your normal audio outputs, composite/S-Video output, phone line port, Ethernet port, and two USB ports. All this will be powered by Microsoft’s Windows CE operating system, which already has shown up in Microsoft's automotive software.

This product reminds me to much of the original WebTV. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but overall WebTV wasn’t that impressive. The one thing that really bugs me about Microsoft’s MSN TV is the overall look. With its current color scheme it reminds me of a toddler toy you'd pick up at Wal-Mart.

THE PEOPLE at Zend Technologies quietly announced last week the availability of the long awaited PHP version 5. The rise of PHP - the open source, server-side web programming language that took the Net by storm starting in 1998 with its 3.0 release, seems to be unstoppable, if one believes the usage charts at php.net. The PHP growth could be compared to the relentless growth curve of Apache, the open source web server of fame which now runs more than two thirds of the sites on the Web, according to the Netcraft Web Servers survey. That's hardly surprising, given that Apache and PHP work very well together.
