Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

I completely agree. I never understand why people make giant ActiveX only "web applications." Just get over it and make it a desktop app, it's not a web app. If you have a web app and add one small component using ActiveX, that's different (still stupid, but different), when the entire thing is a giant collection of ActiveX atrocities, just make a desktop app already and admit you are Windows centric (also dumb to make apps like these, when you want to reach a broad customer base, that can't be run on different platforms).

To make it even worse, in terms of QC there is no real reason it couldn't be a genuine cross platform web app, it's not doing anything particularly special (in the browser based versions I have used - actual DHTML-Ajax would be much better, or even Flex or Java). Heck, if they did make it a real web app, they might even accidentally fix some of the stupidity in the way the UI works.
