Will Microsoft push Silverlight via a redesign of Microsoft.com?

09/01/2008 - posted under Web Technologies
by Duncan Parry

Slashdot reports that Microsoft may push Silverlight by redesigning part of their own website using the platform, which offers an alternative to Ajax, Flash and JavaFx.

As the post at Slashdot and article notes, there are no significant sites using this technology at present, and it requires the website to be running Microsoft's IIS server and .Net.

Some how, I can't see webmasters (and FDs being asked to pay for IIS servers) rushing to embrace this, no matter what MS do with their own site.

You can see the new Silverlight sections of Microsoft.com via this beta link or the gallery linked to in the article above. There's also a dedicated Silverlight site and a Wikipedia entry.
