Wildcat Resources will launch an IPO called NetLinux on the CANADIAN OTC which will feature a Linux networking and e-commerce businessman's server OS. We will also write a commercial GUI which will supplant X and be integrated with the hardcopy output and XML. XML will make word processors, PDF files and HTML obsolete, will talk directly to websites without FTP and make website maintenance of database info and other complex publishing data easy enough for the secretary to do in her spare time. Ralph- All of this is just Wildcat Resources' marketing machine spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, confusing otherwise right minded people who were planning to purchase NT 2000 from Microsoft. E.- <g> Are you saying that your GUI isn't going to be in the kernel, but on a separate layer? Also, are you advancing that XML will obviate 'productivity suites'? It kinda makes sense. Will an XML browser be able to *do that? If so, why is Corel jumping head long into XML? (lay question) Why is it that we just can't throw X away and have a graphical browser that has an efficient dedicated (run time) GUI built in? If we're going to a browser desktop, what's the point of having all of that overhead? What am I missing? -JCJ
