Microsoft’s Silverlight April 17, 2007

Seems like our giant in Redmond is throwing down the gauntlet to compete with Adobe’s Apollo. Really, Adobe is already in this space for 15 years. Besides, designers hate Windows and Silverlight apps will only work on Windows. Is it not hard to see who will win?

Apollo is still buggy though. Installed the Alpha on my laptop. It didn’t crash, but apps aren’t working 100%. We’ll see.

Apollo is still just in alpha. Stick with us, we will have a lot of stuff fixed at the beta release!

Hi Michele, sure, this is alpha after all. I am really looking forward to test out the beta. What I saw today in the Adobe session on what Apollo can accomplish is great. Buzzword gets my vote as the coolest Apollo app so far.
