Beyond HTML: Free Rich Client Analyst Reports @ Microsoft

Hi,

  Microsoft's developer network (MSDN) site sports
half a dozen analyst reports on the upcoming golden
age of rich clients.

  Free online reports include:

  * Return of the Rich Clients
    By John Meyer, Giga Information Group

  * How to Decide Between a Browser-Based or Rich
Client
    By Uttam Narsu and John Meyer, Giga Information
Group

   * The Return of Client/Server - or, at Least, Rich
Clients
     By David Smith, Gartner

   * Microsoft's Enduring Rich Client Advantage
     By James Governor, Illuminata 


  Somehow the all-knowing analysts missed the XUL
revolution. Giga, for example, lists the following
rich client flavors:

    * Windows Forms .Net
    * Java Swing/Web Start
    * Flash MX
    * Curl
    * SVG
   
  Anyone wants to wine and dine some analysts to get
them up-to-date and pay a round of lap dances to get
them excited?
