Silverlight
Seems like IBM are seeing the RIA space as something they want to be part of, rightfully so as its a massive industry that just continues to grow and grow.

Its going to be a while, if ever, till BlueSpruce comes close to competing with Silverlight / Flex .  Good luck IBM your going to need it big time!

Human after all
Sounds bizzarely similar to the story of flash.. wanst one of the original concepts of flash to be what you could do in standard web if only you had a stable platform to work on?

It sounds like a chat server and an extendible AJAX toolkit. I don't get it.

Wasn't Silverlight something close to that too in 1.0? A little competition doesn't hurts, on the contrary...

Not really. This BlueSpruce appears to be some kind of collaborative app framework that frankly you could build on top of any suitable framework (for server side) and by using any existing RIA system or, as BS is, HTML and AJAX for client side.

I don't see how it directly competes with any of the RIA platforms. It just doesn't use them.
