Sorry for going below the belt. I have edited the post and removed the ad hominem attack.

Can’t say that I’ve come around to your way of thinking, though.

Google and FireFox 3.0 are making movements in this space. Microsoft with its WPF and WPF/e etc are making movements in this space.

Adobe with Apollo/Flex is also doing the same.

Oracle is looking to swap out its HTML based applications for a richer technology subset.

SAP are doing the same by using Adobe Apollo as a wrapper that houses HTML inside it etc.

Now if all these corporations whom in a sense set the pace for a lot of the web centric applications, then what does that say about browsers. They need to adapt to surivive or they’ll eventually (may take 5-10 years) have the plug pulled.

Coatsee not Goatsee …
