[Saidi Net News] on June 14, Microsoft's Silverlight Network Video/animation software was successful. Although Netflix, CBS, and NBC use this software in large projects, Microsoft's Silverlight still lags far behind Adobe's flash in applications.
However, this does not mean that Microsoft cannot catch up. According to Scott Gilbertson of the Register website, Microsoft's latest Silverlight software promises to catch up with Adobe's flash framework. In an interview, he said that Microsoft is catching up with features, but still lacks some elegant performance of Adobe Flash tools.
This is a stable improvement for Microsoft. However, Microsoft's software is far from enough to give up Adobe Flash's use of Microsoft's Silverlight. Enterprises and designers have years of experience using Adobe Flash. Gilbertson believes that in the short term, we still cannot see the situation where users give up switching flash to Microsoft's Silverlight.
Storm comment: the above analysis shows the current status of Silverlight. However, from the features of the latest versions of silverlight3 and silverlight4.0, it is possible that Silverlight is more functional than flash, however, it takes time for penetration rate and developer recognition to test the value of Silverlight technology applications by time accumulation.
