Guys this is waaay more than a flash alternative
Its far more akin to a java applet alternative, that has security and very easy out of the box simple functionality.
Because it uses a declarative markup language its very easy to describe 'cool' graphical effects and the like, packaged with blend it allows the adobe level developer to use it.
But it is far beyond what flash can do, as you have a fully functional platform, any .Net language can be used too.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
T-Mobiles proxy can intercept and re-compress graphics used in embeded Silverlight objects, this makes it far far faster to load on a connection with poor signal.
The main Hexus site is a complete nightnare to use in such circumstances. All those flash adds are massive when you are pulling just a few KB/sec!
The streaming demo is nice too, a slider lets you alter the bandwidth supplied, and the video hardly jerks and there's no dreaded buffering either...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
/me prays for Youtube in Silverlight.
Silverlight > Flash.
I hope if youtube does use silverlight we have a choose on weither to use that version or not since silverlight doesnt work with opera yet. it is being worked on thou.
Already? Bah, and Moonlight 2.0 isn't ready yet
At least SL3 supports Theora/Vorbis
