The components in the Vortex can be enabled, disabled and re-ordered without recompiling the SWF. All resources in the application get loaded over HTTP when the application initializes. This performs surprisingly well.<\/li>\n<li>You can plug an OpenLaszlo application into Webtop relatively easily. Webtop provides the notion of applications, as well as windowing\/docking\/undocking behavior.
