Just for the record, I don't doubt your programming skills, I was just saying that there's a rather fundamental difference between the need for HTML vs the need for, as you call them, "jumping bunnies".
I completely agree that distractions are becoming a real part of the work environment because of the ubiquitous nature of the web, but, when you ask "But who's job requires a hyperlink?", well, mine, for one, does a lot. And FWIW, they're pretty important to just about anyone who uses an intranet system for work. Imho, the how-do-we-keep-people-away-from-facebook-during-work problem isn't really a technology one.
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoCould you edit this to say what kind of job you have? I specifically exclude certain types of work. Did I miss something? Or are you agreeing with me? And this isn't about keeping the workers away from FB (although you could spin it that way) The point is much more about the extremes of simplicity. What is the absolutely most simple thing that most folks would need to do their jobs.

As far as forms go, the Microsoft stack is pretty much laser-focused on data entry/display apps, which I guess is what you're focusing on. So technically, you can use IIS and deploy custom built desktop clients today if you wanted to. Of course, there are pros and cons and I'm sure you already know what the arguments are. (btw, since you asked, I'm a web developer)
