It takes a few startups to jump in and push Silverlight into popularity. IMHO, it is a better and more open RIA technology than Flash, so I'm happy to see it used! (Although, you don't have to use it everywhere. The signup form didn't need it, for example).
- stormideas 18y agoAha, yes. I got a bit carried away there. Currently redeveloping in ASP.NET MVC as a more standard web form!

- andr 18y agoWhat does that even mean?
- halo 18y agoSilverlight being better than Flash doesn't logically conclude to making Silverlight a good idea and deserving of support. A lesser evil is still an evil. I consider the fact that Flash is pretty terrible a feature, as at least is helps discourage people from only using it in places where it's absolutely essential. I firmly believe RIAs are a fundamentally bad idea and the quicker they are replaced with open standards the better.
