CNET on Xamlon
CNET has a nice write-up on the upcoming Xamlon .NET->SWF compiler. CNET sees Xamlon being good for all parties (Macromedia, Microsoft, etc.). I agree to some degree, after all the more killer apps that are written on top of Flash the more legitimized the SWF approach becomes. However, unless the Flex team gets its act together, this could throw a significantly large wrench in their plans to integrate with VS.NET / .NET at some point. So good for Macromedia? Yes. Good for the Flex team or the Laszlo guys? We'll just have to wait and see.
