I'm more interested in SilverLight
and its release date / improvement as a .Net developer. I don't care how some browser speeds Javascript up 1000 times. Browsers are lipstick, and Javascript is a pig. With RIA such as SilverLight, JavaFX and Flash out there, somebody gotta use violence to force me to code in HTML/AJAX/CSS again.

So why are they helping port it to Linux and OS X?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/19/08
MS will only do the minimum to convince people they are trying to be cross  DonnieBoy | 09/19/08
