oBrowser -- Is there a demand for this?

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hey Vik,

I think the biggest problem is that its too early to ask that question
in that manner. I can see a LOT of potential and when we make the move
to Studio 8.x we will most definitely become heavy users of it. It will
overnight change a long outstanding issue in our application in
displaying, formatting and sending out HTML emails. While oWrite has
been the greatest in this respect for authoring formatted emails,
displaying emails received from our clients remains a troubled issue.

There are also several places where we currently open a browser window
while it makes far more sense to embed this functionality inside of
Omnis such as showing locations in google maps and the linkup to our
documents server.

But while we're still 'stuck' on Studio 6 this won't be of any benefit
to us.

Cheers,

Bas
