title: What does 'rich user interface' mean?
body: <p>What exactly is meant by the term "rich user interface"?</p>
  
  <p>Does it mean the same thing when <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/188ht7d8(VS.71).aspx" rel="noreferrer">referring to user-interfaces</a> as it does when referring to, say, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997611.aspx" rel="noreferrer">communications frameworks</a>?</p>
  
  <p>Does it imply that a user-interface can be "poor"? (as in the opposite of rich, not as in poorly designed)</p>
