Re: [CGUYS] Laptop Hunters - and Silverlight
How is Silverlight BETTER than Flash or MPEG that both work on almost all computers? It's from Microsoft (I thought you knew that). That makes it is obviously better. It is also better because it won't have all the incompatability problems that the other products will soon have. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Laptop Hunters - and Silverlight
I went to the Microsoft website this week for information. It turned out to be in a Silverlight video. Silverlight doesn't run on the Mac I was using. MS has cooperated with Flip4Mac to replace Windows Media Player, yet their Silverlight doesn't run Are you saying that Silverlight's Mac plugin doesn't work? I hadn't heard that. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

It works only on intel based macs...perhaps that was the issue? On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 7:09 AM, b_s-wilk b1sun...@yahoo.es wrote: The videos are up on the MS site, but they would not play on my PC. Maybe I should have tried it with my Mac, but lazy me, I found it on youtube. Search on Laptop Hunters. I went to the Microsoft website this week for information.

What's the point of Silverlight? What kind of business model is that? Built-in failure or intimidation or just bad design? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I have a PowerMac, as do millions of Mac users. Need Intel Mac to use the current Silverlight, and it doesn't run very well either. Didn't want to boot the new Mac just to look up something minor at MS. Maybe I'll use Moonlight on X11. How is Silverlight BETTER than Flash or MPEG that both work on almost all computers? Light Up the WebSilverlight powers rich application experiences wherever the Web works. Yeah, sure, whatever. Pointless.

No one is ever supposed to try anything new once the die is supposedly cast? What kind of business model is meh, why bother? Who knows, maybe competition from Silverlight will prompt Adobe to fill up the swiss cheese holes of security in Flash. I get tired of updating it every 2 weeks. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
