Microsoft Prefers Flash To Silverlight

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft still has not adopted Silverlight, and uses Flash all over its websites. 'Despite all the controversy over Microsoft using Silverlight to take over the rich internet market from Adobe Flash, the software giant seems to be not even trying. In fact, even most Microsoft web sites are using Flash instead of Silverlight.'"

Who the f**k modded me troll? You must be new here, so I'll explain. There's a significant percentage of Slashdot members whose mental development did indeed abort at about 13-14 years old - their chronological age may be far different. They don't really understand what the words "troll" and "overrated" mean. You might think this inappropriate moderation is due to your mention of the Mono Project, but it could just as easily be due to your mention of OS X in your signature, or even due to the fact that they frequently got beat up after school by some guy named Richard.

Unfortunately, they have gobs of time to spend perusing Slashdot since they don't have jobs, never date, and burn easily on the rare occasion they actually venture outside. So they manage to carry a disproportionate amount of moderation weight, and account for a large percentage of story submissions.
