However, the promising solution this is that the technology will enable all users to experience fully fledged applications built for the web. I am a developer that uses Microsoft Tools to develop solutions to both windows, linux and mac users.Ĭurrently you are correct that there isn't a concerted effort to develop Silverlight for any other platform with the exception of Windows based pc's.

I've ready the flames and the suggestions. Which they won't, but I will still hate them. Now I hate NBC too, and hope they lose money and die. Why? Why would something this major use a stupid thing that is not even beta yet, when a perfectly well established and functional option exists? To annoy the hell out of me, that's why. User Agent took care of that, but I suspected things would not go well. Which obviously did not include any type of Linux (NBC being a Microsoft thing nowadays, what a surprise). First, it complained that I was unclean and unworthy of the O2 I breath (or something like that), since I was not running one of their approved OS/browser combos. I run Linux only, and can still come across a video website that does not work for me. Reason for my hatred: this weekend I went to the NBC Olympics website to (try to) see some videos of events I missed. Why, oh why another "standard"?! Now that the Flash crap works relatively well in every platform I've seen, they come up with another stupid format. **And don't want to!!!** For me, it's reasons to hate #2 and #7, basically. Not because of the thing per se, which I don't even know. That said, I wish Silverlight had never been thought of, that whoever had the idea had never been born even. Reason to hate #1 is actually Apple's fault.
