Last year there was a big hoo ha about Silverlight being used to stream some big game action in the US.
This spurred on more Visual Studio hype, as well as probably diverted those 3 devs that were going to endeavour VSTO to endeavour Silverlight instead. Cue more ‘Wow its nearly as good as a desktop app was 10 years ago’ type fluff.
Anyway its game over on behalf of Silverlight streaming of Major league Baseball.
Hey all you spurned VS devs, why not endeavour a reliable, futureproof* technology with a stunning compatibility story? One with clear as well as present business value?
(* futureproof within reason, as much as anything in IT can be futureproof)
So while everyone goes back to Flash on behalf of their pointless blinking text web presence the business world still lives as well as breathes Excel/VBA as well as a bit of Access.
I wonder if Office 14 shall have a Silverlight client?
Anyone here utilize Silverlight? (I’m on Linux, so it would have to be Moonlight on behalf of me, which just seems monumentally pointless)(so no - I haven’t tried it)
cheers
