Does anybody still develop Windows applications? Or, the programming world has
gone online
,----[ Quote ]
| Steve Ballmer has recently sent a memo to every Microsoft employee. Ballmer’s
| memo leaked really quickly (I wonder if he expected it). After swallowing the
| corporate-madness part (but that’s allowed: he’s a “mad” corporate leader
| after all), one particular passage really grabbed my attention. Taking about
| Internet applications being popular, he wrote: “But we also need to make sure
| developers have the .NET skills to write unique Windows applications using
| Windows Presentation Foundation”. Which begs the question: does anybody still
| develop Microsoft Windows applications? Really?

Cloud Computing: When Computers Really Do Rule
,----[ Quote ]
| The key concept behind the Cloud is Web application, which is software stored
| on some company's server and accessed by users through their Web browsers.
| That means everything is done through the same window used to surf Web sites.
| Other than some small scripts downloaded to the desktop, all the software
| used and the data produced remains in the Cloud, i.e. on the main servers of
| the company.

Hands on with the new online version of OpenOffice.org
,----[ Quote ]
| Still, Online OpenOffice.org certainly does have a niche it can fill. Due to
| its desktop-cum-web nature, it easily offers the most features of any online
| office suite. Users who are unhappy with Google Docs' K.I.S.S. approach and
| are unwilling to pay Microsoft's hefty prices for Office might have a good
| chance at looking past Online OpenOffice.org's shortcomings. As
| OpenOffice.org's GUI matures—and if Ulteo's implementation keeps in step—
| Online OpenOffice.org has a good chance of evolving into a feature-rich, easy
| to use, web-based office suite.

Adobe may launch Office rival
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe is pumping significant resources into Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR,
| formerly known as Apollo), which gives developers a way to take code written
| for the web browser and repurpose it for the desktop.
|
| It is the AIR platform which excites many observers, and which could give
| Adobe a solid starting point for the launch of office applications.

| eyeOS hails from Spain and was one of the early entries into a market
| that, as yet, has little evidence of profitability. However eyeOS now
| boasts 120,518 users (compared to 53,500 in August 2006), so it is
