I'm amazed no-one mentioned scripting on this list yet. Silverlight relies on the browser's JS engine for scripting. Basically, the XAML subset implement Silverlight handles Layout, and animation, while the browser's javascript engine actually provides for the scripting. IMHO, that's what we did with Flash 3. Although admittedly Flash 3 didn't event back.

Claus, Yup, so that's why FLEX does have its unique offering vs SilverLight and once developers & designers unsubscribe from the notion it's a "Flash Killer" and do more of what you are doing (exploring it's upcoming release) you'll decide on what you think it's merits are vs aren't. It's early days yet, so wouldn't worry to much about it folks ;) just keep an open mind should you want to take it for a test-run post MIX07 :) WPF & SilverLight are going to have interesting prospects just like Apollo and FLEX will have it's own, I think the two will do different things for different people. Keep fingers in all barrels I'd say :) On 17 Apr 2007 03:30:22 -0700, Claus Wahlers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > If you read FUD crap, ignore it on both sides and just be opened to > the > > idea that theres yet another channel of delivery in rich interactive > > applications. > > Reading through the Silverlight docs, XAML looks to me like some weird > kind of microsoftified SVG, spiced up with MP3 and WM codecs.
