[mapguide-users] Introducing Fusion ...

[Paul Spencer]

Jackie,

At this point, they will co-exist.  We are intending Fusion to  
deprecate the current AJAX viewer within a few releases but that  
decision would certainly not be made without community involvement  
and feedback.  It will also likely depend on how long the developers  
are willing to maintain two separate viewer technologies.  If the  
developers decide that Fusion meets their needs, it may still exist  
but would likely not receive much in the way of improvements.  If  
Fusion sucks too much (and it doesn't ;)), then the opposite would  
happen of course!

Cheers

Paul
