[...] Their early demos look impressive, and most interestingly, heavily promote the software’s cross-platform compatibility. Unlike previous Microsoft efforts (Windows Media Player, I’m talking about you), Silverlight is (purportedly) designed to run seamlessly on the Mac’s Safari and Firefox browsers (not just Windows platforms). TechCrunch’s Nik Cubrilovic provides an excellent overview. [...]

Has anyone seen any examples of Silverlight that are search engine friendly? I’ve tested multiple instances including http://silverli...com/default.htm and don’t see how search spiders can read any of the information. Or does this have to be taken into account when building applications/sites with Silverlight?

this does nothing for the Internet community at large. another ‘metoo’ product from microsoft. the only good I see coming from this is a shot in the arm for Adobe.

Dear ggmike, and etc

More and more users daily move on to Linux, forget about m$ creating a shitty plugin to support linux OS, eventually someone like my self will evaluate what m$ has created and clone it, but that is not the point here.. Why do you insist to blow out a system that is as important as any other OS such as (in your case Mac)windows, also if you take a closer look at vista, you would realize that a lot of things it has are copied of from linux. Anyways.. some one here was right.. WHY!?!? would Microsoft really want to support Mac system’s when they only support there own? what’s the catch?

Has anyone noticed that the letters ‘SVG’ are imbedded in the words Silverlight.

Whether Redmond actually wanted to pay homage, sincerely, or this was just some non-tech advertising dweeb’s syllable-sticker/trademark scanner/product namer program, the truth did out.

MS copped the commons code of Scalable Vector Graphics so maybe XAML should really be called SVG 1.3 and the CLR is really just CBASIC2008 or CB-8600 and so maybe it is time to rehabilitate Gary Kildal.

Now lets see if the text actually wraps properly.

Even if Silverlight won’t change the market situation (i am strongly believe it will, since it has a good design plus Microsoft marketing), it will surely heat it up, making Adobe work more on Flash, which in the end is good for all of us. Concurrence is good thing for all products and developers – products get better or disappear if they are weak, and as for us(developers) – we will have more options to choose. =O)

Thanks for the great explanation; can’t wait to try Silverlight. Puzzled why Microsoft went with the gossamer jockstrap logo though.
