Inside Edge Interaction

Nik Cubrilovic: Silverlight is excellent technology and those asking why developers and application providers won’t just stick to flash only need to look at XAML, the runtime speed and size and the flexible options with programming languages combined with very strong multimedia support to start to see the answer. Microsoft have a battle on their hands to convince the developer and designer communities that their platform is the best platform, but most of this convincing won’t be a technical showdown but rather the establishment of trust between users and Microsoft as the vendor of this new platform.

Ray Ozzie Keynote summarized by Luke Wroblewski

Ray Ozzie: “Silverlight is an important aspect of our software-plus-services strategy focused on delivering great user experiences that span the Web, the PC and mobile devices”

So far, the talk about Silverlight for mobile devices has been underwhelming. It would be great to see Expression Studio provide an environment to support designing for mobile devices.
