How am I being manipulated or ripped off by big corporations? Or at least by MS in this case? (I hate the fact that Comcast has no real competition in my area.)Īnd yes, I do own my machines. The latter category, “Windows machines”, would represent only a part of the world’s “web client machines”.

Tell me, do you believe that you own your own machines?īTW, the category of “web client machines” is a lot bigger than “desktop machines” and therefore bigger again than “Windows machines”.

You LIKE being manipulated and ripped off by big corporate interests? I say let them do it and may the best product win!

Besides, they aren’t even pushing Silverlight because of those very reasons…if they wanted I bet they could have Silverlight on 75% of Windows machines in a week if they pushed it through Automatic Updates but they haven’t because they know if they did everyone would cry about it. Opera can’t compete because their product is sub-par but instead of making a better product they just go to the legal system.Īnd to say that MS should be probed for anti-trust because they entered a field which another company already has a virtual monopoly on? That’s just ridiculous. They key should be to make a better product, not get the government to punish successful companies…like Opera is doing now. Look at Firefox…its done fine even though its not bundled with Windows. Same with Windows…its too bad for Netscape that MS included Internet Explorer with Windows but if it was worth having then people would have gotten it anyway. Oh wait, that would actually probably be bad for consumers because it would probably make things more difficult for them. Maybe they should be fined and forced to inter-operate with other music stores or devices. What about Apple tying the iPod to iTunes and proprietary music formats? That seems pretty anti-competitive. I’m really sick of Microsoft bashing…all companies do the same things that MS was doing, just most of them aren’t big enough to warrent any attention. When it comes to video content, please promote the HTML5 video tag, possibly using a fallback technique like Video For Everybody which does not require JavaScript. Whether you want to participate in bringing an alternative to Flash closer to ubiquity is a whole different matter. Microsoft also released the Silverlight 3 SDK and the Silverlight 3 Tools to get you started on Silverlight development. Data: Data-binding improvements, validation error templates, server data push improvements, binary XML networking support, and multi-tier REST data support.Application development: Deep linking, navigation and SEO, improved text quality, multi-touch support, 60+ controls available, and library caching support.Graphics: GPU Acceleration and hardware compositing, perspective 3D, bitmap and pixel API, pixel shader effects, and Deep Zoom improvements.Media: GPU hardware acceleration, new codec support (H.264, AAC, MPEG-4), raw bitstream Audio/Video API, and improved logging for media analytics.There are lots of new features, and Ars Technica summed up the most important ones very nicely:

Officially, the plug-in supports Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3, and Safari 3/4, but I noticed that my Chrome 3.x installation on Windows 7 works with Silverlight content just fine as well.

Silverlight 3 runs on Windows and Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher, both PowerPC and Intel machines. Microsoft’s main Silverlight web page has not yet been updated, but the release is really there, and you can get it here. It comes with a whole lot of new features.

A day earlier than expected, Microsoft has released version 3 of its Flash alternative Silverlight, including a number of related tools to aid in Silverlight development.
