Silverlight is the Future
Microsoft just released its Adobe Flash competitor, Silverlight, and I’ve been reading about its features and getting giddy. I usually don’t get this enamored with new technology, but I can see this platform causing a paradigm shift in the way we deliver content (multimedia, software, etc).
