Another meaning of Bindows

In Thailand, there is an operation system called "Bindows XD" which is not to be confused with this software. It is a fake Windows XP released early 2004 still in use as of 2009.

Features

Some highlight features of the Bindows SDK are:

  • Native XML, SOAP and XML-RPC support
  • Accessibility (Section 508) Support
  • Complete windowing system
  • Vector Graphics support
  • Relevance

    It has been claimed that Bindows is probably the leading object-oriented platform for developing Ajax applications. While this might be true for implementations in large enterprises (Bindows is used by 91 of the Fortune 100 companies, 85 of The Global 100 companies, and 352 of the Global 500 companies, according to its website), many open-source AJAX frameworks are more widely spread.

    Relevance to developers

    Bindows is the underlying client technology used in System 9.
