RIA web in 2007 , now it is half way through, let us see how accurate is the prediction.

1. Vista is going to raise the bar for experiences across the board
Disagree, My view, Vista is not turning well. There are complaint 'Too slow'.

2. Adobe's Apollo is going to be much better than expected
Agree, Adobe is going to open source on this. Hotter and hotter.

3. Microsoft is going to make inroads into the design market
Agree, Visual studio is great, now it has WPF and AJAX. .Net 3.0 will fully released next year. So forget PHP programming, that is Web 1.0's product. Use Flex and Visual Studio.

4. The Designer/Developer workflow will get some mainstream press.
Agree, not that evident.

5. Apple is going to make a play in Rich Internet Applications

6. Competition for technology in the online video space will heat up
Agree, the virtual world is just expanding so fast.

7. Flex becomes the primary technology for building Rich Internet Applications.
Can not agree more on this. Flex is so great, does not have the boundary facing for Java, JavaScript or AJAX.

8. "WPF/E" will have a higher penetration than Apollo.
Agree, fiece competition. Microsoft will be likely to win. Its foundation is so solid and strong. Looking at video provided for Asp.net programming, can tell its strength.

Agree. Crossing boundary more.
Sun microsoft has Java Fx. For Java developers, a great news.

10. OpenLaszlo is going to be a beacon for open source developers looking to build Rich Internet Applications
