Microsoft Silverlight

Looking at http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ i say wow. No more flash for me.

But i also wonder will Delphi support this?

My bet is that Chrome will support it first.

And I am extremely impressed with Silverlight as well. Flash is dead; long live Silverlight. :)

Chrome is showing his extreme power on everything related to .net :shock:

but shareware ;/

Yes, Silverlight and Chrome work together. In fact, using the latest beta of Expressions Blend will result in VS integration for whatever .NET language you are using. Playing around "under the hood" a bit has resulted in a few Silverlight projects on my own system and I have to say I'm impressed. There are some downsides to Silverlight though; You can't guarntee where your code is executed (client or server side), though it appears you don't have to worry about IPC you do (SOAP for RPC), and finally there arn't very many good tutorials out yet (though I do recommend url=http://silverlightrocks.com/cs/blogs/default.aspx?GroupID=6 (http://silverlightrocks.com/cs/blogs/default.aspx?GroupID=6)) as so far his are the best tutorials for games and Silverlight that I've found (yes I have to monitor this scene quite closely:)).

Might be time for me to package up what I've done thus far and see if I can't write a getting started :). Oh, and from a completely different side of this I'd never tried Silverlight or Flash up until about a month ago. Worked with Flash and Flex for about 3 weeks to no avail, worked with Silverlight for about 3 hours and had a running tic-tac-toe game :). Now a few weeks later I'm loving Silverlight and still cussing Flash/Flex.
