I am not sure what you mean by 'older solutions'.
RevServer is bound by the features and functions of browsers and the  
standards that they follow.  The newest standards are HTML5, CSS3,  
etc.  This is how browsers operate.  Microsoft has done the experiment  
of deviating from such standards, teaching us that this is not a good  
long term strategy.

On the desktop app/exe side, programmers are free to create their own  
protocols, interfaces, and functions.  In that case, the marketplace  
will choose the 'winners'.
