- city41 16y agoActually... "Zoom.it runs on Windows Azure and enhances the experience with Microsoft Silverlight when available." From the "About" page.
- alanh 16y agoI don’t have Silverlight and it runs just fine here. (Yup, it’s all in my DOM!) Using Silverlight when installed is fine by me — theoretically, it’s going to run faster than having a browser scale tens of images tens of times a second.
- city41 16y agoI do have Silverlight installed and I couldn't seem to get the site to use Silverlight. Still all DOM as far as I could tell.
- city41 16y agoIt reverts to silverlight if you are using IE (of course, :) )

- WalterGR 16y agoLook Microsoft, you can create useful dynamic web services without requiring Flash, I mean Silverlight Microsoft "invented" XMLHttpRequest for their Outlook Web client. Bing Maps doesn't require Silverlight. Some people even prefer it over Google Maps. Given that Microsoft has been creating useful dynamic web services without Flash or Silverlight for some time, I don't they were particularly shocked by their ability to create this one.
