So we have to remember that developer to developer we have to give a certain amount of respect to our peers. I’m not saying we have to agree with them, or not express our very real frustration, but I do think a little respect and encouragement can go a long way, especially now that Microsoft’s people are listening to the standards community more than ever.

Well said Molly.

Guys, I am not sure how many of you work on companies with layers and layers of management, Business operations and Marketing divisions competing wioth each other but putting it plainly: making a website compliant is not a matter of just “ok, tell the techie boys downstairs that a new era is dawning and Web Standards is vital to our business operations!”

Developers in most cases have no word or power to change monolitic business models.

It is no different in Microsoft either, the moment came Microsoft had to step up security in IE - and don’t forget that was the primary business drive that triggered the Internet Explorer overhaul - which by its turn was the main reason commom users were switching browsers. The web standards compliance came along the way, most probably, fruit of insistence from developers inside Microsoft itself that were listening to the design community at their own homes and time.

The importance of having IE to adopt standards is that it will guarantee a much faster standards-compliant, client-technology refresh/update on the ordinary user front. Since they hold the majority of the market and new Windows systems, as planned, will practically lock you out if you do not update your system periodically, that might mean that the version gap will close much faster than it used to before.

XAML or Avalon is the langauge on Windows, just like what XUL is to Mozilla. Not the Internet… Sorry to disappoint you all!

Star, I believe you are at best half right… Sorry to disappoint you!

A quick “Google” reveals that there are actually at least two different (and independent) technologies referred to by the same acronym (XAML):

1) Transaction Authority Markup Language (XAML) is a vendor-neutral standard that enables the coordination and processing of online transactions in the rapidly emerging world of XML web services – the revolutionary new model of Internet-based computing that is now being adopted by all major systems and software vendors. XAML is intended to be a completely open standard for web-based business transactions. …

2) XAML (short for eXtensible Application Markup Language, and pronounced “Zammel”) is the user interface definition language for the next version of Microsoft Windows, code named Windows Longhorn.
