- gojomo 17y agoIt's still fair to doubt that support/performance elsewhere will remain at parity with Windows, and thus not get on that install-and-update treadmill. Microsoft's track record is not great here. (I only have Flash because I have to; adding another clunker rich media framework with an unclear future is something I'll hold off as long as possible.)
- Daishiman 17y agoMoonlight will never reach feature parity and is unable to run most of the common Silverlight apps. The chance of Silverlight working on OS X in a few years is about the same as IE working on OS X, or Office for Mac having full support for macros (if it's not clear, MS dropped support for both). What about mobile devices? Stuff running on ARM? More of our computing time is being moved away from PCs. If this doesn't work with a browser of with an open set of technologies, it is bound to stagnate and lead to lock-in.
