The improvements have nothing to do with client side enjoyment, but with faster and easier development of the code... I don't expect MS to stop being MS, but in this case closing out Mac or Linux (any more than Flash does anyway) isn't in their best interests. Plus I'm guessing their Courier Tablet is going to run nothing but Silverlight apps... SL 3 is tailor build for "mostly connected" out of browser apps...

I can do all of this in Python & Apache on a 'BSD' box, although much better, with more Bling and Blazing glory. However, for Bill Gate's Fan boys, an MS NT IV box, with only a dual SMP, or less, will do just fine. Although, to get out of bed before lunch, I would like to get paid, real money, that is. Silver what? I trust there is a point to this, that the Linux and Open Source camp couldn't do better. Oh' wait, they can, bugger! Still, BSD is better than that, but then the MAC guys already know this. Better luck next time, guys. Oh, wait, you wanted to get paid for this, damn! So, what’s the big deal?
