    Microsoft Begins Push Into Adobe's Flash Stronghold

    Microsoft is taking aim at Adobe Systems' ubiquitous Flash technology with the pending beta release of its own rich media technology for browsers, called Silverlight.

    Formerly code-named Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere, Silverlight will compete with Flash as a way of jazzing up Web applications during development, then playing them in a browser. Silverlight will be released for beta testing later this month at Microsoft's Mix 07 conference for Web 2.0 developers.

    Its been more than 7 years in the making now. This is an up 70&#37;-grade-hill battle in which microsoft stands to lose more money than make market share.

    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    No kidding, Adobe is just now finally starting to write a 64 bit flash for linux, been waiting for years. I can only see Microsoft doing this to try and beat them to it.

    Kinda hard to keep support for something many people don't want in the first place. You can thank lazy coders for ruining that experence. That, or the many of people who didn't want anything to do with it. XP64 was the most absolute stable version of Windows, hands down. The fact that many people spouted that x64 was nothing useful was why nobody cared to code for it.Why waste resources when everyone is like "OMG 64 is uyseless nows stoopid n00b." Nevermind the fact that one day it will be necessary. Why plan for the future! 32 is now!

    Actually I don't care for Windows but I was genuinely interested in Buying XP64 but figured I would wait a year until their were more drivers available and folks had worked the kinks out. So as much as I hate to say and endorse Micro$ I am really pissed it took a dump and never added up to much!
