Last summer, there were more than 40 Microsoft services and sites branded as "Windows Live." As of April 13, there are now ten fewer, and some of the existing ones are now known officially as "Live," minus the "Windows." | ||

| Remind anyone of the .NET branding fiasco? |

#1, Yup - for a while there we'd all trip up not knowing what to call W2K3 and various versions of .NET naming. Sometimes intentionally joking and referring to it finally as "ya know... the next one after the first two."
Though I have used nearly all "Live" services and the BETA for Office Live, and we benefit from some very fast networks and systems, I'll be danged if I like the web only model for any of them. I like the hybrid models much more - where the best of what a good client, on decent machines and a solid network can do over the web. While I am sure we'll all get to a point in time when web based apps and their use is transparent to us, it isn't going to happen as fast as some suggest. More importantly, I'm not sure a web centric approach is even desired. I suspect that a hybrid "Click Once" client delivery model which fuses the best of many systems, will eventually win out - and perhaps the best use of multi-core systems in the near future, where different cores will handle different parts supporting the applications. For example, browsers that house many parts of the hybrid client as shared resources that devs may use and leverage. |
