Microsoft Takes Silverlight Beyond Windows

Linked by jayson.knight on Tue 1st May 2007 18:03 UTC

Microsoft plans to extend its mainstream development tooling to Silverlight, its Flash challenger, and add support for dynamic languages. At the Mix '07 Web developer and designer conference, Microsoft executives said the company will allow .Net developers to create applications for Silverlight, its alternative to Adobe Systems' Flash format. Microsoft on Monday released an alpha version of Silverlight 1.1 that will allow people to write applications using .Net applications such as C#. Version 1.0 of Silverlight will be available this summer.

"Well, it is not like Flash is an open standard."

And it's not that you are forced to use existing and established standards just because they exist... :-)

True, but there is no other application like flash, then you have to use flash.
