Re: Microsft Silverlight!

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

Looks like it's just a mobile version of Silverlight. Hell if I'm gonna install it though, I barely use it on my desktop except on MS's web site, lol.

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

yeah my question is just that, what other sites besides their use silverlight? lol

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

Major League Baseball's website requires Silverlight. I had to download it to watch highlights.

Coodaddy :???:

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

I've played with Silverlight. It seems like a relatively impressive alternative to Flash. I suspect much like we see WMV on some sites, we may start seeing Silverlight crop up. Since MS designed it right off the bat with support for Firefox and Macs (and maybe Linux? I don't remember), they're already countering most of the reasons NOT to use it. We shall see.

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

I didn't see support for firefox or linux...Not that it matters. I wouldnt use any MS products anyway, after the way they treated me.

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

the way they treated you? im sure you got completely screwed by microsoft because they are a horrible company that wants nothing but your money and your misery. Or maybe you didnt read the minimum requirements
