From: Walden H. Leverich
Introducing Silverlight, Flash, Flex, JavaFX, whatever, is just
trying to use applets and activex again with different names...

I don't think people are really thinking this through. They get caught up in the visual and audio transitions and special effects and forget about the architecture. It reminds me of NASA's analysis of foam breaking from the Challenger launchpad and bouncing off the tiles under the shuttle. The PowerPoint presentation made it "appear" to be an unlikely risk.
