It makes it simpler, which is great, but underneath it’s still all this junky HTML, Document Object Model, CSS, all that stuff, where 30 years ago, we knew how to do that stuff cleanly with a dynamic programming language and a simple graphics model,” Ingalls said. “Flair takes us back to that simple model and adds the collaboration [and] Web access to it,” he said. Flair could spawn various new product concepts and make Sun customers more productive, Ingalls said.”
