CNET Interview on XAML, MXML, LZX with David Temkin

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?
