Jason liked your presentaion in VSLive 2007 NY. When I played the Silverlight at the silverlight.net today, I found that the entire site does not comply with 508 standard. It's critical criteria for the government agencies to adope this technologies. I think it's best interest for MS to make it comply with 508 standard.

Howie - Adding accessibility is definately a high priority for us and we have people working on it.  As you point out, we still have a way to go.  Please make sure to check out the work we are doing in 1.1 as new releases come online.

thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I am the guy who asked you to compare the flash and Silverlight in the lunch break session. Our clients are most of government agencies. I want to offer them an alternative option in this RIA space. Without 508 compliance, I even cannot bring it up to any client.

Howie - thanks for your feedback on 508, I agree this is important.  There are a couple of work arounds you can use with alternate text fields.  I've asked for some better documentation on this we can publish.

Josh - thanks!

Anand - glad you liked Silverlight!  I've gotten a few requests for more pointers so I put up a new post with details on how to find a lot of the demos I showed (http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2007/09/21/getting-started-with-silverlight.aspx).  This is really the best place to start...
