wow :) I only joined Microsoft in 2007 (prior to which I was on this list coding away in Flex since this list was born), I don't know what we did prior to 2007 nor do I really care (can't change the past, can only influence the future!), suffice to say while I'm on the job, the tactics and strategies aren't underhanded and the compete is kept clean (which we have been really good about). That being said, when I see assumptions or inaccurate information being presented in a forum (couldn't care as to what theme or where) i'll simply step forward, make sure our opinion is heard and step back. I don't draw battle lines, I don't buy into "this is our gangs turf, go to your own" mentality as to me it just is a waste of brain matter to think in that mode. Suffice to say, should you still think it's not appropriate, Adobe Staffers have done similar posts to this on Silverlight related forums? (which I welcome! as I'm sure folks in the .NET community aren't kind to Adobe messaging either).
It doesn't bother me that folks dislike Silverlight or say negative things about it, if it's not for you, great, enjoy Flex and all the best. I'd rather you dislike us with an accurate amount of information vs reading a friend of a friends blog post or picked up some random text byte on a forum somewhere. I'd encourage all to interact with various communities (don't be restricted by just one technology, explore more), as you learn more about your approach by seeing how others complete theirs. All the best and have another glass of wine! :) (if it's good, keep the flow going!). Scott Barnes Product Manager Microsoft.
