Smart Clients and Web Form Controls from the web
I've been playing around with Smart Client and Web Form controls downloaded via HTTP, or hosted in a page, and I must say I'm really impressed. First, it's nice that MS removed the security restriction that made it next to impossible to download WinForms stuff without jumping through major hoops, and second, it's rather impressive the control you get, and the ease with which you can set up a page with a control on it. I hope that we see pages that use it the way applets were common in the mid to late 90's. I know I'm going to use it for admin pages on our web app, instead of trying to maintain complex web forms...
