The term “Rich Internet Applications” was first introduced in a White paper by Macromedia in March 2002. I think, we can trace back RIAs from "thin client" idea.

That being said, RIA hasn't been around in 10yrs. We used to call it DHTML back in the day, but not sure your point about the 10year mark given Microsoft was one of the first to actually build a mainstream "RIA" application - aka Outlook Web. - Scott Barnes Microsoft. heheh nice post, obviously i am taken out of context ;)

They finally realised that they can't stop the future anymore. Let's not promote and support the guys who helped us loose 10 years.
