  1. Comment - Microsoft 'worked with Apple' for Silverlight on iPhone, says Goldfarb

    I don't know, are you paid by Adobe to counter-shill? You're being deliberately thick about a Silverlight MEDIA PLUGIN for IIS.

    I really don't care HOW they do as long as they keep plugins out of MY IPHONE. I'm sorry that the fact that they brand it 'Silverlight' makes your brain fart. Everyone else gets it.

    Sounds like professional jealously to me that some buggy plugin vendor zigged and got it wrong while MSFT *zagged* and got it right. Your name wouldn't be Dowdell would it?

    No, actually it's technical reasons:

    Adobe has been whining that Apple doesn't 'open their APIs' when other *open source* browser plugin devs have no problems. It's simply that Adobe has lost their Mac / Unix chops, probably in the last layoff.

    The fact of the matter is that now MS has a viable way to push Silverlight content to iPhones..and Adobe does not. Rumor has it that ADBE has some type of 'Flash Media Server' but I've never seen one prominently mentioned.

    And iPhone users don't WANT a 'browser plugin' like crash.Flash on their iPhone. You're missing the point. The most important thing is NOT the tech, but the fact that Silverlight content is being rendered with Apple core tech.

    MSFT came up with a solution that was cool with Apple and Adobe didn't. MSFT seems to understand something ADBE doesn't. The concepts of 'client' and 'server'. And 'elegant' over 'ubiquitous.'
