Hi,
The XUL News Wire reports:
Randall Knutson has released the first prototype for
a remote desktop using XUL. Point your Mozilla XUL
browser (e.g. Firebird) @ http://robin.sourceforge.net
to call up a fresh desktop with a startup menu and
play XulMine, Mozteroids, Pagman, Snake, Xultris,
MozInvaders and more.
What is Robin? Here's the "official" blurb from the
sourceforge project site:
Remote Operating System Build in Netscape (Robin) is
a window manager using DHTML, Javascript, XUL and some
crazy hacks.
Full story @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/robin
MozillaZine also runs a story on Robin @
http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=3342
If I may quote some responses:
"This is good, really good."
"wow, that is awesome."
"That's just way too cool"
and for balance the response from a Microsoft junkie
titled "Been there done that":
"This isn't very new. There has been tons (well a
few) of these, some even commercial but none have
succeeded." Come on guys let's stick with Windows.
