"...if Microsoft is willing to pay, computer makers will be willing to include Silverlight."
Others have written articles exposing that Microsoft is willing to woo developers to Silverlight. I guess if I ran the program, I would jump start it the same way if I had a big blank check and a brand new un-proven technology.
Today a colleague at Adobe sent me a funny email. Apparently Flash gurus XPLANE (http://www.xplane.com/) built a brilliant Silverlight application which slightly echoed the Adobe MAX developer theme posters. I installed Silverlight 2.0 to view this one - great work!!
When you zoom in on the poster however, there is what appears to be a payoff going on. One character identified in the keys as the "Client Business Owner" (see below)....
appears in the picture to be handing a large bag of cash to the Account Manager (identified in key) as shown below:
Could it be a clandestine clue of a secret payoff? What do you think? Or maybe the development shop is paying Microsoft to use Silverlight?Disclosure: I do work for Adobe and yes - we have paid people to do Flash projects for various reasons.
