MS Silverlight

What is it? Like it?

MSs version of adobe flash

devil Spawn.... IMHO. It should, however, get adobe innovating again!

I was talking to an interactive media lecturer at the weekend. He reckons it's the beginning of the end of Flash as a mainstream product. Silverlight 2.0 is good enough and Silverlight 3.0 is already progressing well.

Though don't those creative types love their Adobe products - Photoshop & Acrobat etc. Also a lot of creatives who do a lot of the existing flash work use Mac's. Maybe not to the same extent they once did but still a good percentage of them.

Flash has such a domminance in the market - I don't recall ever seeing a site that says 'Silverlight plugin required'.

Old news my friend. I heard it on BBC One on my XM radio this morning driving to work drinking my Starbucks Salted Caramel Signature Hot Chocolate. Yummy. [y]
