Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

Gnome 2.x
Gnome 2.x

With lots of talk recently about mono/java/python, it seems like a response to Longhorn and XAML is brewing. People at mozilla are talking about how to create an alliance against the hegemon. Co-operation with gnome is discussed on mozillazine. I do hope that gnome can use the XUL language or something like it so that gui programming is easy for us mere mortals. Lets not re-invent the wheel reproducing XAML when we've already got XUL!

Re: Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

As another poster pointed out, this isn't applets or html web apps. This is rich gui stuff that will be basically indistinguishable from normal apps. In fact, since windows can do whatever they want they can go ahead and have a hybrid approach with some local processing and some remote processing. Good stuff.
