We are launching a site with heavy media and are looking at using silverlight, since most of our video library is in wmv, and from what I understand, flash services still cost a couple of dollars.
I really use Silverlight, I know that I use it, as well as a bunch of developers for internal applications, but since the web application is ready to go, I went through the mac installation from safari and had to restart my entire browser to install it, and not really great user interface. I also noticed that MS doesn’t even use it for http://video.msn.com , as well as several sites that they’ve started to go crazy, MAC people cry bloody killings, read http://www.itwriting.com/ blog / 641-mac-users-refusing-to-install-silverlight.htmlwhere one reader of the New York Times said: "No, I will not use anything from Microsoft. If reading NYT requires MS-products, for this reader, goodbye, The New York Times." when asked to install silverlight for the NYT website. Wise Forward Technology I like Silverlight and some of the things I can do in terms of framework / wpf and want to move forward, I'm just not sure if this is enough. Just wondering what people think there
