It's a good technology, and it sure beats Adobe Flex. The only problem I see is Linux compatibility. Silverlight (aka Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere) is coded with JavaScript and XAML, while Adobe Flex applications are coded through ActionScript, so the coding is pretty much the same. I think that Silverlight will win the "war", but I don't know...

So finally Microsoft has decided to make an alternative to Flash. Oh, goody.

I've installed it so that I can view all pages on the Internet. I don't really like the concept (considering they could have just used Flash) but I'll still use it if I have to. After all, it's not like about 90% of the web uses it... like it does Flash.
