In the same way that ASP is a threat to PHP.
NOT!

Sparkle supposedly has the ability to talk directly with services within Longhorn.
AKA - it's just gonna become another tunnel for trojan-horse apps to install themselves on your computer.
And it's real definition is that it's an APPLICATION drawing and animating tool.
I seriously doubt it's gonna be a graphics powerhouse.It sounds like it's for developers.
Besides - Microsoft has absolutely no experience in making professional creative applications. Period.
Considering Microsofts uncreative history - I doubt they could do a good job.
- XC010
the success of an application like that is dependant on designers, so while macromedia is still doing a good job with flash why would we change to something new?
most of us have invested far too much time with flash by now to switch to a new app. to do the same thing.

I think it stands about as much of a chance of replacing flash as live motion did... lol, what a joke that was, did anyone else see the launch presentation of that at FF2K?
It was sad:(

From what i've been reading its not about replacing flash, its about changing the windows UI from raster to vector. Kinda like osX, but 3D... sigh
