I disagree. It's a robust system designed to integrate more seamlessly than Flash ever did.

Still, Silverlight shows an amazing new things you can do - 'talk' with the object within the html around it, bind it easily to your DB etc...

Windows is awesome. I don't get why some people hate it. Some say it sucks because they had a bit of mishap with it. Lucky me, I've never had a bit of trouble.
It's all on how well you can use an OS not, and not OS itself. Both have their ups and downs but some people are just completely ignorant and don't realize how amazing almost any OS can be when used to it's full extent. Vista has it's looks, but it also has issues. Issues I've never come across therefore I love Vista. Mac's have their...idk, I've never tried one, but I wanna get an iMac in the mere future. :D

I looked at Silverlight and I still can't figure out what the hell it actually does. I deem it completely worthless. Whatever it's suppose to do, I'm sure my current stuff is taking care of it just fine.

If you have it installed, go to Microsoft's Download page, it's almost seamless navigation.

Wow... here we are in 2009 and silverlight is getting better and better.
Silverlight 3 now fully supports 3d graphics with GPU acceleration.
Amazing graphics, easy DB access, one could make a MMORPG with it!

I think NG will launch the "Silverlight Portal", as it did with the "Art Portal".
NG is everything by everyone, it could be the first and the best Silverlight portal too.

I mean, there are thousands of .NET developers out there and it's just a matter of time before it becomes mainstream.

Instead of scripting with AS, developers now have all the power of the almighty .NET Framework, using languages such as C++, C# or even VB.NET.

It doesn't have enough browser and OS support yet so a lot of visitors won't be able to view it.

Response to Will NG support Silverlight? 2009-08-12 17:14:35


From what I've seen, Silverlight isn't too bad at all. Nor is Microsoft. Don't jump on the "Microsoft is the devil in disguise" bandwagon just because you think it's cool.

The vast majority of people in this topic are probably using a version of Windows. It's easily available, it's highly usable, and the "it sucks" claims are uncalled for. It's a damn good operating system in my opinion and much better than the Mac.

I'm not claiming Microsoft are a top quality company. I think a lot of there software is overpriced, buggy and bloated (see Internet Explorer). However, there a top company for a good reason and Windows holds such a large share of the market for a reason.

Well, it works in almost every browser and OS. Silverlight is cross-browser and cross-platform.
Mac is fully supported for example. One pitfall is that Linux support is always one step behind, 'cause it depends on the moonlight platform.
