On: Microsoft May Buy Email Startup Xobni

[systems]

"Microsoft may have first approached the company months ago and floated an offer of sub $20 million, which was apparently rejected"

Wow, they are aiming for more than 20 mil, if they get it, well, we should all start creating products for MS ... to buy... I personally think, only MS can have use of this program, I doubt xobni will ever have any serious clients in the enterprise, they product is ... not that usefull in my opinion! And it target totally the wrong paradigm, more power in an non web client, this is useless, the correct place for this functionality is an enterprise portal! not outlook

What exactly is "incorrect" about improving desktop software?

well, I was mainly thinking, that more apps should move to the browser, especially apps that dont need to have a complex UI.

And a xobni is a social networking app, the web-browser seems like a very good fit for it!

Well ... ultimatly its subjective ... it just how I think, "if you can put it in the browser, do, if you don't, your did wrong"
