Does Apple 'get' Widgets?
Dori Smith has forgotten more about Javascript than most people (myself very much included) will ever know, so when she talks about widgets I listen. Dori thinks that Apple is pitching widgets to the wrong audience: hardcore developers. When they have an app that they want to write they turn to the tools that they know, not to HTML and Javascript.
On the other hand, says Dori, the good folks at Microsoft seem to understand that the power of widgets (which Vista will have) is entire wrapped up in the fact that almost anyone can code one.
