Microsoft Silverlight takes on Flash

Published by Bruce on March 13, 2008 in Quicklinks. 0 responses Tags: Internet, Quicklinks, software, webdev.

Microsoft Silverlight is a proprietary cross-browser, almost cross-platform (not yet Linux), and cross-device (WM6 & Symbian only) plug-in vaguely tasked with "delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web." The developer tools (Windows or Mac) output interactive text, bitmap images, vector graphics, animations, and video (WMV)/ audio (WMA and MP3) playback, in competition primarily with Flash. The plug-in is free (v2 is currently in beta) & curiously you can download the Getting started video in QuickTime for iPod! More here.
