Will Silverlight Outshine Flash?
Microsoft had a message to send customers, developers and even investors today: Silverlight will live up to its "Flash killer" nickname. It's the only sense I can make out of a keynote that spent so much time on Silverlight, with emphasis on flashy demos, many from partners.
It's no coincidence that the demos painstakingly and methodically covered most of the areas where Flash is used for content development. But there was an undercurrent that should disturb Adobe: an emphasis on Microsoft's advertising platform.
