What do all these things have in common?

MS Visual Basic 6, MS ActiveX, MS Silverlight, MS Visual Foxpro, MS C# .NET Compact Framework, MS ASP.NET WebForms, MS ASP.NET MVC, MS Windows Communication Foundation...

I think there common is a theme there. But shhh, don't tell him.

They're all faster, more productive and richer environments than modern web apps?

VB6 and FoxPro, yes. Others, not so much.

Why not just say what's common (over hyped dead-ends)? Snark don't make you sound smarter.

I thought it was a smart comment. I did not notice the commonality before 29athrowaway pointed it out.

29athrowaway said eight times what's common. Eight times!

The space jam website from 96 is still up :). Standards go a long way.

Most of that was replaced by their own .net core and Google's efforts to optimize JavaScript and establish Chrome as the defacto browser, which remains as one of Google's few ongoing projects.
