Synthasite needs a platform. I hope that the product becomes a tech-savy utility taht serious developers can use. .net intergration asp aspects and design elements and more templates that are commercially viable.

Sidenote - Anyone test driven Google AppEngine? I just built a sample app with it and the ease of use is great. It reminded me of EC2, with a less complicated API.

I don't believe really the browser will be the new operating system. I think that browsers need to be more mobile compactible.

Hi Viny, interesting post. I'd like to learn more about your experience with EC2.

But as for MSFT and where they believe the application should live, I think they truly understand and believe it'll live in the browser. On a financial point of view they're simply trying to maintain their revenue base from their desktop applications as long as possible.
As soon as they open it to other browsers their revenues will start declining rapidly. So in my point of view they know very well what they do; pushing back as long as they can opening up everything in other browsers.

"the browser is the new operating system, believe it or not…"...true, Vinny. The sooner MS gets the picture as to where the future of services lies, the better for them (and users, of course).

I'm sure that improvements in hardware efficiency and pricing will allow services such as Amazon's EC2 to be scaled at cheap rates. Then MS and other tech titans will realize how formidable the web is as a platform.
