Well, I suspect the developers would prefer "streamlined" to "stripped
down". 

I, too, am curious how it's going to bring Microsoft to its knees --- I
mean, it's an interesting programming language, and it has some
interesting capabilities, but so far the neatest thing I've seen is a 3-d
wireframe Tetris that you can spin around in real-time, and many of the
available applets seem to focus around animating things (from simple
animation to YASI (Yet Another Spinnable Image).  While quite neat, I
don't suppose Microsoft is quaking. 

Of course, my soothsaying skills have always been, at best, imperfect. 

Mike.
