Bullshit. Intuit has been successfully fighting Microsoft for a very, very long time, well before Mint, well before Google maps and before ViaWeb + what followed.

According to you, USSR collapsed and dinosaurs became extinct also because they didn't grok the potential of XmlHttpRequest. Not everything revolves around webapps.

Frankly, I have no idea how Intuit did it, they're probably the only desktop competitor Microsoft hadn't crush, and this article didn't really give me any plausible clues as to why.



If you read my post I am saying that XmlHttpRequest on its own will do no good. Agreed Intuit good a really good job in the 90s but that's over.
