From the Dark Side--M$ At It Again, Trying to Own the Internet with "Forms"

Microsoft, that incorrigible and unrepentant convicted illegal monopolist, is pressing its own standard of XAML for the next generation internet forms that no web browser except Internet Explorer woven into the next rendition of the Windows OS ("Longhorn") will be able process. The W3C set XForm as the new Forms standard but it is not being adopted in practice because XForm does not support any current web browsers. An open standards breakaway group, including Apple, Mozilla and Opera are developing an alternative new standard that will work with current web browsers according to this News.com article.
