  • Memo to Microsoft Marketing: Silverlight is out of beta

    homeServerFlash In what can only be considered one instance in a series of examples, I saw this story today on TechCrunch that featured yet another new Microsoft promo site built with...wait for it...you guessed it: Flash. Today's culprit is the Microsoft Home Server division, which has built a beautiful Flash promo site showing you all of the unique ways you can use Home Server in your house. Nothing too fancy. A few buttons. Some video. A few animations. Nothing that a designer with designer tools like, let's say Blend, shouldn't be able to do with Silverlight 1.0. Right?
