I hope it spurs Adobe to improve Flex/Flash. I'm a recent Flex developer but I like what I've been able to do with Flex in the last 4 weeks. Here's where I...

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the...

I got it working to some extent for Camino (mozilla) on mac. By no means have i thoroughly tested it yet though. I couldn't imagine developing for it yet...

A coworked show me an example like the Flex Book, and looks very bad to me, it seems to be very heavy (I ear about 70Mb!), the interactivity not as smooth as...

... Except on Linux. Or Solaris. It's all just WPF-related FUD to try and scare people away from the competions better (and shipping) product. -- Tom Chiverton...

Hell no :) (Not while I have breathe and draw pay at Microsoft). SilverLight = Apple Flash = Orange Both eatable, but personally I'm an Orange man on Mon-Wed...

... Reading through the Silverlight docs, XAML looks to me like some weird kind of microsoftified SVG, spiced up with MP3 and WM codecs. I'm still searching...

Claus, Yup, so that's why FLEX does have its unique offering vs SilverLight and once developers & designers unsubscribe from the notion it's a "Flash Killer"...

I'm amazed no-one mentioned scripting on this list yet. Silverlight relies on the browser's JS engine for scripting. Basically, the XAML subset implement...

I'm so sad, I remember Flash 3... I think i was toying with Flash path or VRML... glad I went Flash.. ... -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com I'm...

Version 1 of Microsoft products have historically been slow, unapologizing in their copycat nature, and hampered by large numbers of major bugs and gaps in...

I've been working with Flex since its alpha version. Before the release version was avaiable I had an application with AMFPHP ready. That is I really love Flex...

Its an annoyance of mine aswell. I'm confused as to why .NET remoting was dropped from Flash/Flex (haven't yet seen FLASH CS3 and whether its back but yeah, no...

I hope this isn't taken with as some sort of corporate shill for my employer, as it's honestly not my intent, but Dave Wolf, Vice President of Consulting at...

Dave.C, Dave.W gets it :) He understands that the RIA space is not exclusive to one company but many, while I get the undercurrent of his blog-speech, I do ...

Scott, ... but i think what hurt it's purity is the undercurrent of "MS is evil, watch them" mentality. I assure you that undertone wasn't purposeful. I did...

I agree it was a fun read, and I think Dave you got it right. It's a confirmation of the market and everyone it will benefit. Plus a little competition keeps...

I agree that there is room in the RIA space for another player. I think that MS has a few things going against it for this launch. First off it's a new plugin...

I got a question though.. How come we see so many ex-Adobe, ex-Macromedia aces at MS on the Silverlight/Expression teams. Is the pay that good? Have minds been...

Always fun with Microsoft it's your competitor and your friend at the same time. I mean sometimes you cant without Microsoft when developing for the Windows...

Take it from me: Thomson v Microsoft 1. The documents I've seen waht to make me through up (dry heave) 2. Microsoft is involved in patent them, z4 technologies...

... Fair call :) I'll take you at your word on this one - but don't let that get out or people will think i'm soft, as in micro-soft :) I agree there was ...

Puff. Avalon or WPF just rocks! :-) I luv it. Great, to use a the user interface engine in application. Easier to leverage then the Flash ActiveX control <g> ...

I have to put my 2 cents down for prosperity sake. All you people that live in cities and constantly sicken yourselves by your own pollution, need to live on a...

Adobe constructed a great product. The conception and architecture are excelent, but the comercial strategy is not so good. Macromedia had something like 4...

For the record, I was very vocal about Flash's potential all those years ago as well (In 2004, I made this post http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/276.cfm). I'm...
