Silverlight Everywhere ??
One day, operating system would become irrelevant. It is integrated desktop+web front-end system and application platform mechanism that matters. -arv
Microsoft seems to start to understand that the computing paradigm has changed. No longer it is just about desktop system. Rather it's going to be about desktop and the web combined.
In response to that, they created a silverlight interface that esssentially:
- Embrace desktop capability
- Seamlessly integrate it with the web.
Such hybrid front-end + cross-platform technology could dominate computing in the future. Microsoft can sense that. Hence they created Silverlight version that runs on Windows, as well as on Apple and any other (platform in the future).
Silverlight probably is among first of Microsoft technology that runs on many platforms, other than Windows. Adobe Air (the core technology that Microsoft imitate) shall be careful, and shall move faster as well, to maintain its pioneering effort and technical lead.
