Wow, I didn't see this coming...

Now, that silverlight will support Linux, I have a new citizen in my "UI Alternatives" talk. Until now, Silverlight was usually not an option for web-based applictions. Most geovernmental organizations demand a real cross platform solution, and that's something Silverlight pre-v1.0 just couldn't deliver. Of course, the Mac support is really nice, but Win+Mac is simply not eough.

But now it changes, and for good. I think the addition of Linux support is no less than revolution in the way we see web-based application. With .Net support, Linux support and some more controls, I believe that in the long run Silverlight will become the first choice for web applications. I mean, who would prefer to see plain-old-boring HTML when he can see this instead?
