How Microsoft Lost the API WarHow Microsoft Lost the API War:
After that little teaser... let me give my little review of this piece. It's long, it's well written, and it's very interesting. It goes into some good explanation of exactly what an API is (if you don't know already). It goes into some history, and he gives a good argument for his point. With all that said, I'll say this. His point makes one large assumption: That Web Based applications will only continue to grow, and that rich clients will only become less popular and wither away. I'm a big fan of rich clients, and although I can see this as a possibility, I don't see it as a certainty. Declaring that Microsoft has lost the API war at this point is premature. The war has only begun, and there are many battles to be fought. Semper Fi... Carry On.
