<http://www.pcworld.com/article/204883/microsoft_claims_silverlight_beats_html5.html>Most Notable (which i found funny) Silverlight is valuable for business/enterprise applications, premium media experiences, and consumer applications and games, Becker said. hmmm... remember activex anyone? "The media features of Silverlight are far beyond what HTML5 will provide and work consistently in users' current and future browsers," Becker said. Silverlight offers advantages in such areas as high-definition video, content protection, 3-D video, and smooth streaming, said Becker. well, that's a surprise "HTML5 and CSS 3 are going to make this worse for a while as the specs are new and increase the surface area of features that may be implemented differently. In contrast, since we develop all implementations of Silverlight, we can ensure that it renders the same everywhere," said Becker. everywhere with windows and .net? "For HTML5 to be really targetable, the spec has to stabilize, browsers have to all implement the specs in the same way and over a billion people have to install a new browser or buy a new device or machine. That's going to take a while. And by the time HTML5 is broadly targetable, Silverlight will have evolved significantly. Meanwhile, Silverlight is here now and works in all popular browsers and operating systems," Becker said. i didn't know html5 is a resource hog and that hard to implement, awww, but i don't seem to remember seeing any silverlight apps anywhere too. Ya, works in all popular browsers (where?) with some "simple" plugin installation? Regards, CL Chow "Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.
