Posted by oVan on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 | PermaLink | 0 commentsNo, that's not a typo in the title. Although Silverlight 1.0 hasn't been released yet, Microsoft has already shown the Silverlight 1.1 Developer Reference:
As noted in Andreas Kraus' post Silverlight - Take Back The Web, version 1.1 features true cross-platform capabilities and will offer support for the following soon: Opera browser, Windows 2000 operating system, IronRuby and VBx framework languages, Xml Language Integrated Query (LINQ to XML), XmlSerializer, System.Windows BackgroundWorker, Web Services Client Support, and Atom/RSS Support. These will be available after the 1.1 alpha release.Labels: Microsoft, Silverlight

Posted by oVan on Wednesday, April 18, 2007 | PermaLink | 0 commentsYou've probably read about Microsoft Silverlight by now, the new and fancy name for WPF/E that runs on both Windows and Mac, and on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera.
The trouble is that their website will only showcase it's own Silverlight techniques on April 30. If you want to give it a test-run yourself, you're stuck with the old February CTP. This leaves me with an unfinished impression that will not, eeuh, impress potential developers and companies yet.
Maybe you want to download some Silverlight goodies while you're waiting on Microsoft to finish up? Perhaps a nice widescreen wallpaper, "Silverlight Dawn" or "Silverlight Dusk"? Too bad they offer very strange resolutions — anyone heard of 1400x864 or 1600x800 (which turns out to be 1600x1050 instead of the industry standard 1680x1050). I guess it's time for a better wallpaper from Ultimate Vistas!Labels: download, Expression, Firefox, free, IE, Mac, Microsoft, Opera, Silverlight, wallpaper, Windows, WPF, WPF/E
