Does anyone know anything about MS Silverlight. I downloaded it yesterday and it was saying all kinds of junk that i didnt want to read, but it seemed like they were making it out ot be the next but better flash player?
Adobe didn't liked the fact that Silverlight was born. ProAdobe Blogs said that Silverlight was a copy of flash, a mare attempt made by Microsoft to stand up and face Flash. The thing is Silverlight isn't yet so strong as Flash, but it might get. Flash was created with the purpose of generating computer animations - not sure if on the web or on the desktop - and was 'evolved' into a fully functional programing environment. Actually that's Flex Builder. Many of the core libraries that created the ActionScript code that was used for flash is now changed to make it look like a decent programing language. It will be hard to say which will win. However it is a good thing that Flash gets a rival. It was about time!
Thanks man, i heard about it, but its just another MS shot at stealing someone's glory and will once again fail miserably. If MS would develop NEW software, they may get something right, but as long as they chase the tales of Apple, Adobe, and who ever else they are mooching, they'll always be crap.
i like silverlight and im glad MS have brought it out. it cant take on flash yet but we will see some nice apps done with it.
I know there are some sites that already are using Silverlight. It looks so similar to flash, that I had to right click on the app area to see that it wasn't flash lol.
