My rich-client saga continues today with the green-light given to my Java colleagues to proceed with Thinlet, an OSS rich-client solution. The Business Manager said it makes more sense to use a freely available software solution than to pay for something proprietary. She was pretty impressed with Thinlet. So did I, considering it being Java and released on the right time.
While the J-guys are replacing their JSPs to rich-clients, I quickly scurried off to look for something equilvalent on .NET. I know the customers and other Business Managers won't be able to wait till 2006-07 for Longhorn to be available. Somehow, with my Business Manager saying, "If this is good, we will port everything to this", gives me the creeps.
I managed to find some not so promising solutions from googling: Xamlon and MyXaml. Among the two of them, I feel Xamlon makes more sense as it is more compliant to the XAML in Longhorn but I don't think it is going to be free. MyXaml on the other hand is an OSS project but it is some what deviated. This is so disappointing!
