the DOM is the new GUI.


As a guy who writes web apps for a living, I am hoping and praying
that you aren't right.

Life would really, really, really suck if all we had was HTML and
javascript.


MS isn't dropping another 100 mill upgrading their browser
just because they feel they got this sudden urge to become
standards compliant. More is at stake than that.

If you want something to pray about, pray that Mozilla comes
out of round 3 of the browser wars intact.
