It may be simple. In a domain where the thin client has been sold to almost everyone as the right way to build web clients, one looks at XUL and asks, why would I want to use this? Putting aside the source (MS vs Alliance), one must be prepared to answer: Why would one want to use a fat client on the web? Are these really fat clients? The very worst way to sell a technology is to be a 'teller', one who lists all the features of a technology without addressing why a given customer would need them. Listening is everything. Timing is everything else. The best salesmen listen more than they talk so they will know what a customer needs before they try to sell them what they have. len From: Didier PH Martin [mailto:martind@n...] XUL is not a bad idea Gerald, it was simply badly implemented, badly marketed, badly supported. And this doesn't suppress the fact that you have probably invested a lot of efforts into your site, simply that you do not have the resource to push that into the market and that Mozilla was a living dead (or sleeping beauty) for a long time.
