Installed the player. re-booted. Ran a couple of animations. My system froze!!! Had to re-boot.

What a joke. This can't be a competition to Macromedia Flash. It's awful.

The curtain has been raised on a whole slew of news related to Silverlight , formerly codenamed "WPF/E".

Niraj J – I think you are talking http://silverlight.live.com/ … You do get 4GB free. Are you asking about a relational store? We don’t yet have that in place, but we are thinking about some different options.

On 1.1 and Orcas – Yes, to open a Silverlight 1.1 project you need to use the add in to orcas that you can find on http://silverlight.net. You can also download Orcas beta1 from there.

Enjoy.

I'm glad at least WPF/E (which isn't really everywhere, just mac/pc) got renamed. I'd hate to see litigation against false marketing :-)

The dynamic language support sounds awesome! kudos MS.

The Flash v Silverlight though is interesting, as Adobe have way more advanced content tools that Microsoft do, weather Adobe has plans to support Silverlight remains to be seen, in the meantime that leaves you with the MS Tools.. One ace up MS's sleeve hopefully will be that programming Silverlight should be a far better experience than programming flex/as3. This point alone should make it worthy of at least competing in the same space as Flash.

It looks like Microsoft has just raised stakes in its "Flash killer platform". Silverlight,

Well, as long as it's not truly cross browser (Opera support anyone?), it won't compete with Flash.

Interesting set of demos you have on the silverlight home..

So i click on the Second demo named Dynamic Ads. So far so good.

Now i pick the first ad (http://ds.pilot.serving-sys.com/BurstingRes/WPFE/msn_tech.html) , the one with the flashy cars.. right click on it and it shows the about silverlight context menu.. great - silver light really rocks.

(http://ds.pilot.serving-sys.com/BurstingRes/WPFE/msn_tech_exp.html)

Now i click on the demo.

aha - more interesting graphics in a new browser.. but wait a minute - from then on, its all flash. I just wished whoever put that demo on the silverlight home page did some more homework.

So much for "Flash killer"..

While it doesnt change my admiration to all the good folks there, i think you can do better than to link to Flash pages.

:-)

Great job !

Microsoft as proprietary as always. Why not do this in the open? But I guess we need someone to hate.

FYI, IronRuby is not in "CTP form" -- it's not actually publicly available in any form at all yet.

Hi Luke,

Yes - we demo'ed IronRuby at MIX but haven't put out the CTP yet. We will probably do it later this year.

Haven't seen many simple starter examples of Silverlight applications. Here's one I literally threw together.

Silverlights Out

See it!

http://www.cjcraft.com/Blog/content/binary/silverlightsout.gif

Use It!

http://cjcraft.com/silverlight/silverlightsout/silverlightsout.html

Download It! (source code and all) [quick and dirty garage project, that's why it is so CHEAP]

http://cjcraft.com/silverlight/silverlightsout/silverlightsout.zip

Umm, Describe It!:

Lights out is a one player puzzle that is played on a 5 by 5 grid of squares in which every square has two states: on and off. The game starts off with all squares off, where the goal is to turn on every square. By selecting a square, all the surrounding squares' (up, down, left, right) state is turned toggled. For example, on a 3 by 3 grid of squares with all squares off, if the center one is selected, it will turn "on" the 4 up, down, left, right squares from it.
