[edit] 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.

Some highlight features[2] of the Bindows SDK are:

[edit] Relevance
It's been claimed that Bindows is probably the leading object-oriented platform for developing Ajax applications.[3] While this might be true for implementations in large enterprises(91 of the Fortune-100 Companies, according to the website[4]), many open-source AJAX frameworks are more widely spread.
[edit] Relevance to developers
Bindows is the underlying client technology used in System 9[2][5]
