Why Silverlight 2 Could Be Far More Important Than You Think
What I see when I look ahead for Silverlight isn’t just some simple RIA technology
Silverlight has had a checkered past already and it has only been around for a short period of time. Silverlight 1.0 came out and most people responded with a collective WTF!? It was a plug-in that basically did little more than play videos. Sure, if you were REALLY, REALLY into self-mutilation you could use a combination of JavaScript, CSS, and some Silverlight primitives to make things look “application-like”, but it was really, really insufficient. People wanted to know why MS would release a Flash competitor that didn’t do anything that Flash did.
