This is interesting and sounds cool, but I do have a few questions:

1.  Is my analogy correct?  Please give any comments correcting or extending this line of thought.

2.  Along the ASP.Net lines, most objects are server side, running in .Net.  If this is possible with Avalon (to some extent), does this mean at some point Longhorn apps could end up running in any compatible browser.  Markup + classes on the server (like ASP.Net) sounds like it would enable that...assuming MS published what would be required.

3.  If Avalon will be part of .Net, could it eventually make its way into the Mono project (or similar) (parts of it anyway)?  Would XAML be a public spec that could be used by others?

4. How would designing GUIs in XAML affect application performance?  Would it make it like rendering a web page locally (slow, but acceptable)?

Anyway, it's interesting stuff.  I look forward to reading your comments.

I'd find it an incredible coincidence if HTAs were not in fact the inspiration.  Of course the universe is a pretty incredible place.

A very important question. Will Microsoft slap a patent on XAML or will it be available to anyone that wants to implement that schema?

From what I've heard/read elsewhere the XAML code will be compiled by VS so the performance should be comparable to Windows Forms rather than HTML.

For example in a company you did an application, and don't want users to modify it. Is it possible or do we only have to use c#, VB.Net... to create 'unmodifiable interfaces'?

When developing an application your XAML will be compiled and not made available to users of the application.

Is this replacement for Macromedia's Flex ???
What is OS and platform compatibility ?
