Re: Are ASP.NET user interfaces essentially dead now?

thats MS's hope. there are a couple issues

1) no MS o/s comes with .net installed. its currently an addon (22mb
download)
2) click once is a great way to spead viruses (as the code does not run in a
sandbox), and MS has not tackled the author validation issues.
3) requires ms o/s (apple is still > 6% share)
4) many company firewalls will block click once (maybe even smart clients)
5) click once only supported by IE (<90% share).
6) more personal devices with browsers

with these issues, and ajax getting popular again, browser apps will be
around for a while.
