ajaxwrite
I know that (e:paul) likes AJAX so here is something he might find interesting and/or annoying.
Ajaxwrite
is a web-based word processor that is written in AJAX with some XUL. It is claimed that it is MS Office compatible.
I've tested it with some old .doc and .wpd files and it read them ok.
Micheal Robertson, the person responsible for mp3.com, Linspire (Lindows), SIPphone, etc, is behind ajaxwrite.
To me the funniest thing about ajaxwrite is that as of right now it only works on Firefox 1.5 and other browsers based on that version of the gecko rendering engine.
In other words, it doesn't work on MSIE. Supposedly MSIE and Safari compatiblity is in the works.

I also like the fact it works in firefox but not in IE. Why not have free programs based on free standards all support each other.
I am so inspired by this that I am going to start building apps in XUL.
Supposedly, one of the things that makes ajaxwrite unique is that it won't require registration for us.
Only time will tell.
I know that Microsoft and Sun both think that web-based appls are the wave of the future.
