Microsoft is aiming at re-inventing the web...

It's sometimes prudent to step back, think, stratergize and 'Re-invent' the wheel! Microsoft is known for it's bold moves, we are often late entrants into new markets, but we are also the only ones that is usually left when the game is over! Remember the browser war?

Today's article in the TechCrunch made me think of our long term strategies and investments and how they all align - Silvelight, Astoria, Tesla and Volta — two other pieces of Microsoft's evolving cloud-programming model.

 

I love this quote: "I’m glad we waited to write. Nik (a long-time developer) was most impressed by how small Silverlight is (4 MB) and how fast it is (it blows away native Javascript routines - without exaggeration, Ajax looks like a bicycle next to a Ferrari when compared to Silverlight)."
