New Didn't they have something like this before?
I can't remember the name exactly but I seem to recall that they announced a product that would do all this wizzy multimedia stuff, including replacing HTML for Web content.

Then again, I may be hallucinating in my old age....

I'm so sorry you're having difficulty! Would you like me to boot in Low-I.Q. accessible mode?

New Liquid Motion
You might be thinking of Liquid Motion. Some say they bought it to kill it (it was Java based). MS wouldn't do that would they?

This XAML thing looks to be an all in one XML+XUL+HTML+CSS+PDF+SWF thing that compiles to .NET binary. They plan on getting everyone to use it for UIs (Longhorn's UI will probably use it), "portable" documents and the like. This "Sparkle" is likely a Flash Studio like authoring tool. Some future Visual Studio will probably have a more programmer oriented UI design tool as well.

New *That's* the fella

Speaking of "Flash killers":

Wasn't NT 3 supposed to be a UNIX killer? Anyone remember that? Bueller?

The question seldom addressed is *where* Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair
is an even more embarassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the
deodorant bottle.

It's a lot less messy in here when Karsten's absent...
