Yesterday I noticed a new site from Microsoft (The Mojave Experiment) which focus on the main rumors around Microsoft's Windows Vista. Many people just heard or read things about it but never really get in touch with it to make their own decision. The "pseudo project" is just born to make people believe that Microsoft has built a new operating system called "Mojave". After the test persons told their positive thoughts about it the were informed that it wasn't a new one... it was just Windows Vista.

I don't want to start a new dicussion on that topic... but personally I'm a very satisfied Windows Vista user since the first days and I think more people should take a closer look ;)

I already wrote an article about the AS3 describeType-method. This time I build an example which uses describeType() to extract accessors from a GUI element (in this case but theoretical every object) and fill the information into a inspector-like DataGrid a hierarchical TreeView and also a raw view of the XML data. I think with this functionality it should be possible to create a X-Ray-clone with much less effort than the original project.

The popular open-source  platform OpenLaszlo got some important updates since we turned to Flex 3. These include Flash Player 9 support and renewed components. They also got some time for first implementations of Flash Player 10 "Astro". The video in this article shows a animation sequence using the 3D API. This is really cool stuff!

The other update to LaszloSystems is the new calendar on their Webtop.
