We've all heard about it by now, and those who have visited a Microsoft site lately have certainly been, well, encouraged to install it. But have you?

The misuse/abuse of something is not a valid arguement against the use of anything. A hammer can be used to build a house, or to tear it down. It is what you do with it.

To me, Silverlight is another tool that I can use to create apps. It allows me to have a .Net framework client so I can work with data feeds (XML not video/audio) in a type-save manner as well as have a rich architecture for displaying it.

Silverlight uses the same laguages and base classes that I am currently using, so I don't have to relearn everything. If Java and Flash are what work fastest for you, great. My point is that Silverlight is more than just videos. Silverlight actually enables you to REDUCE the traffic between you and the server and gives you the tools to create compelling interfaces.

My 2 cents,
Richard
