Joel on Software - How Microsoft Lost the API War

I don't think the Web page will be instead of Win GUI, although some web pages are fancy enough, but please just take a look the JavaScript code, it is extremely long, and quite badly organized.

whereas I think that Avalon and Indigo will be instead of Web page if M$ could do their work well, what my desired GUI is that it has no round trip, no overall refresh, and no deployment.

the thing I worry about is M$ current GUI project strategy, WinForm semms as if to be stillborn. infopath, a very cool stuff, but nobody use. Avalon need to wait at least two years. why M$ can't focus on one thing.
