I disagree. The real reason that microsoft is having so many problems today is karma. Their past is beginning to catch up with them. People are no longer willing to give microsoft the benefit of the doubt.

This sounds more like a domain-specific framework thingy, and not so much like a programming language.

Well, I want to agree with other commenters here, but the way I see the PC market is similar to a bicycle: accelerate or fall to the ground. PCs are an absolute necessity for maybe 20-30% of the consumer population. Whereas until now a hous

Correct me if I'm wrong. If a web developer is hell-bent on detecting ie, they could look for the presence of the activex API (like jQuery currently does in order to provide a uniform AJAX interface).

I also don't buy the whole premise of US government - bad, EU governments - good. When push comes to shove, governments everywhere will have no qualms about invading people's privacies en masse. Human nature is the same everywhere

I don't understand the "eat that" part of the title. Android and iOS are the de facto standards against which Firefox OS should be measuring its progress. Other than that, winphone will never be the third ecosystem.
