The Killer App Ubiquity Myth: The Olympic Bounce For Silverlight

09/10/2008 07:00 pm in RIA

Now that Microsoft has released the Silverlight Olympic data I hope we can put to rest the killer app equals instant ubiquity argument. Often overlooked in all of killer app dogma (or you can call it a smoking gun like Steve Gillmor) is the fact that adoption of Silverlight was event, rather than application, driven. It’s [...]

Convergence: Silverlight 3 To Support h.264 Video

Hype Meets Reality: Silverlight Finally Reaches The Olympics

08/11/2008 08:22 pm in RIA

Holy freak, the Silverlight Beta 2 plug-in install is 17 MB. I’m assuming things will get optimized down a bit for the final release, but it sure doesn’t look it will ever be a skinny plug-in. On the plus side, the plug-in for both Safari and Firefox was included rather than having two separate installs [...]
