CNET Interview on XAML, MXML, LZX with David Temkin

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

Allow me to highlight the CNET interview with David Temkin (CTO of
Laszlo Systems) that covers XML UI language formats such as Microsoft
XAML, Macromedia MXML and Laszlo LZX.

CNET questions include:

* Help us digest this alphabet soup that's emerging. Microsoft is
serving up XAML, Macromedia's got MXML, and you've got LZX.

* What does putting your presentation server into open-source
development do to help you compete? How did you distribute your
software before?

* How seriously do you think Macromedia is taking your open-source
offering?

* Do you really think Macromedia made the free Flex announcement in
response to your open-source giveaway?

* Setting aside the benefits of open source for a moment, how are
you going to convince developers to choose you, a little-known
start-up, over Macromedia and Microsoft when it comes to deciding on a
platform?

What's your take? Do you think open source solutions from Davids
like Laszlo can compete against for-pay solutions from Goliaths such
as Microsoft or Micromedia?
