Flash/Flex or Silverlight? Opinions?
- yubrew 19y agoI'm trying to get a better understanding of the pros and cons between flash/flex and silverlight. Flash is the standard for online video, with ~98% PC's with some version of flash.[0] Our team can hack in flash/flex very easily. Silverlight is being touted as the next platform by Arrington and Scoble. We might get a lot more press as being the first Silverlight app. Also, if silverlight provides a technological edge, then we can be one of the early adopters and beat everyone that's still using flash/flex. The cons of Silverlight is that I'm not sure how much I trust Microsoft to screw me later. While the platform is free, the hosting and bandwidth will switch to pay-for-use after the beta is over.

- jey 19y agoUse flash if you want to actually go into production with this app. Silverlight has no adoption yet.
