Steve - I recently blogged about this - I loved Onfolio, and I love WLW. I want WLW to be a true web-based rich client though - as my publishing tool.

If the same team could build me a rich publishing tool AND a rich RSS reader, then, Oh My! Wouldn't that be special!

I've been extolling the virtues of the Onfolio team for a couple of years and I really hope Microsoft gives this team the tools and teams to just go build stuff. They have already show what they can do with Windows Live Writer. Now I want them to really step out and build me some trly Live apps.

Onfolio may not have been the biggest purchase Microsoft made in the last two years, but it is the one I think has the best chance to add more "Web 2.0 love" than any other team Microsoft has. The Onlfolio team just "got it" when it came to their customers - they knew how to please.

And I am pretty sure they still do. If Microsoft lets them.

@Steve

The point stands whether I choose to remain anonymous or not. But nice way of avoiding the point.

not avoiding the point Project...just that we are destined to disagree on this. we have made similar mistakes in the past (hailstorm) and I an surprised to see google do the same. slashdot is having a field day with this and it will only add fuel to the growing flames of privacy concerns that google has begun attracting.

Rob...sorry for delayed response. i spoke with some of the Onfolio guys and I'm just not sure if it'll happen. I have high hopes for fav.or.it though and it's built with MS technology so I'm happy :)

have a great New Year!
