Microsoft To Open Source Some of Silverlight
Kurtz writes with word that Microsoft is about to follow in Adobe's footsteps by releasing the source code to part of its Silverlight technology. The news comes less than a week after Adobe announced plans to open source the Flex SDK. Microsoft is hungry to build the developer base for its rich Internet app tools, if it can.
Adobe should just file an anit trust case against microsoft if
1) They start to ship silverlight with windows in built
2) They give it away with Visual Studio for free
3) They Bundle it with IE
Adobe should rise to occasion and save the world
cause some time later they will close source and some time later they will make it windows only this could be damaging to linux user as they will not be able to access the media, nobody should render any support to microsoft regarding this............
I'ts insidiously dangerous
Microsoft is the satan for linux
We should fight our crusades(jehad if your a muslim!!! ) against this
Next week after Adobe announced its plans ..., M$ started to fuck her ...
... aspect of Silverlight will be beta open-sourced were not available, and Microsoft's public relations firm declined to comment.
He still is a STUPID!
I hope you realise that no-one actually cares that a few geeks can't get Flash working in their non-32-bit-x86-Linux. The rest of the world is using Flash quite happily. Yes there are some bad Flash user interfaces, but there are also many good uses of flash and plenty of great games. If you want to sulk, that's fine with the rest of us. Just try not to let that bitterness eat you up inside.
Mod prick of a parent down. Whether true or not, contains spoilers.
I hate slashdot!!!
Hey tell me Nancy, what part of OMG I don't care didn't you get? Cuz I'd really like to sort this out for the next time one of you newbie spawns of whatever deity I pissed off comes around toting the virtues of the morally corrupt.

Until MSFT starts making their wonderful stuff available for other platforms I'm just gonna have to go ahead and ignore everything you types have to say, for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and

Let me fill you in on the scoop, Patricia, at the end of the day, it's just some stupid web 2.ohhh my god make it stop, gimmick. Until we see what can be done with it, that truly can't be done before, and really ought to be done anyways, it's just handwaving and gesturing the likes of which can be topped only by the special gals down at the corner, you know the ones, your mom hangs with them, oh yeah, hookers.
So why not join the winning team for a change, grow a pair of balls and stop kissing ass to the satan worshiping msft hordes who promise nothing but a quick fix for the technologically adolescent flashy addicted lunatics that run around like chickens with their heads cut off spouting "it's a new paradigm! It's a new a paradigm!"
