Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

Aaron,

if you build a non browser based app to an iPhone, the server it adresses
dosn't have
to download any thing to the client, it only has to deliver data from a
service (controller/
model) if we are talking in terms of MVC) The "view" is already downloaded
as binary
into the device.

My comment on browsers was a way to say - MS can't take it for granted that
the
client in the other end is build by MS, their activeX and/or AJAX strategy
(that dosn't
meet W3C standards) is becomming more and more a rope around their neck and
with a increasing number of "browsers" on different devices build by
companies at
merely the same size as them self, they have to fall back to standards to
survive .
