For example, "Longhorn" enables Web sites to deliver smart clients that offer a degree of interactivity beyond what is normally possible in Web pages today.
Now I'm getting really concerned that MS is moving down the road of closing off its part of the internet, moving away from the standards of the web and encouraging proprietary applications by providing simple/stupid tools with which to build e-commerce applications that are specific to the OS, further leveraging their monopoly.
The solution is two-fold. Expand the market share of alternative browsers with a positive benifits oriented marketing campaign (the negative aspects of IE go without saying). The second part is to provide more resources for developers struggling with the web standards learning curve, and lead by example by not doing what fucking LockerGnome did and taking a step backwards towards crap front-end development practices.
