I clicked the link, read their explanation and have NO clue what the hell this is.

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

^ I'm in the same boat.

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

its basically Microsoft's version of Flash.

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

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

No, the silverlight thing is an unrelated issue. I know how to read requirements. I just quickly browsed to see what silverlight was, didnt really 'look' for firefox/linux support. (as i said, i wouldnt use it anyway, unless i absolutely HAD to)

Show us on the doll where Microsoft touched you.

As others have said, Silverlight is MS's newish alternative to Flash. It hasn't caught on yet and there's no guarantee that it ever will, but they are going to keep pushing it. Even MS isn't sold on it for Windows Mobile yet though judging by the fact that they just licensed the Adobe Flash Lite 3.x engines for WM.

*points to doll*

Right there! the big meanies! :P

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

Silverlight does work with firefox

And MLB.tv uses it, and I must say I'm more impressed than I thought I would be

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

Does anyone have a link for this? Can you watch MLB games with this on a mogul?

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

Beat me to it!

Tangentially, does anybody know of a way to listen to MLB.com radio (the game broadcasts specifically) on WM6x?

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

any thoughts anyone?

Re: Microsft Silverlight!
 

It will be used more once the olympics come around. NBC is having microsoft broadcast the olympics online using silverlight. I suspect a lot of ppl will dl it then.
