Loved it Thomas, great insight and snappy sense of humor ;)

Be prepared to mentally filter out the included ra-ras for Gaia (although it is their site, so hard to fault them for giving themselves props). Frankly, it doesn't surprise me that a company whose goal is making great AJAX widgets would surpass a company (Microsoft) for whom Ajax is more of an additional marketing point for ASP.Net (server-side tech) than a product. There are some great .Net developers working on some dazzling stuff (LINQ, F#, MVC, Entity), and Joe Stagner was knowledgeable and helpful when we talked at AJAXworld, but MS isn't known for being agile. The snail graphic made me grin.

Thank you (both of you)

I guess you are right, it is a bit unfair to compare us who are doing _ONLY_ Ajax against Microsoft whom are doing "everything". Though at the same time, Microsoft has 100,000 downloads per MONTH for their Ajax framework while we have 2,000...!! ;P
So while the comparison _is_ unfair, so are the web statistics for the two different projects too... ;)
