我很赞同Microsoft Watch上这篇题为"Microsoft Needs to Say No to Web 2.0"的文章中的某些论点：
Only a few Softies seem to be all caught up in the Web 2.0 hype. The majority of them seem oblivious to the weak business ideas, buzzwords and bloviation that make me think "Bubble 2.0" every time someone mentions "Web 2.0."
And with its emphasis over the past couple of years on convincing developers and customers to forsake the Web client in favor of the "smart" (fat) client, Microsoft seemed like it was pedaling backwards instead of forward.
But just as there were some folks in the tech industry who wisely decided against trading their real, tangible jobs for spots at DrKoop.com, Kozmo.com and Pets.com, there are thousands of Microsoft employees who seem interested in building less-glamorous but more useful products like Visual Studio, Office and BizTalk Server.
Microsoft needs to just keep saying no to Web 2.0, at least until Web 2.0 means something more than just "we want venture funding."
没错，"Web 2.0"怎么听怎么像"泡沫2.0"。不过Smart Client的确也有点逆潮流而动的味道了，尤其是当AJAX如今如此遍地开花之时。
