Microsoft Silverlight named after David Silverlight
Reporting the release to the public of MS Silverlight (codename
WPF/E) I was wondering if that product has been named after David Silverlight, creator of many community websites like Community
Credit.
I heard that Microsoft has just
started an extremely high reward system for very active community leaders,
and that WPF/E is the first reward issued with that system.
David is reporting
a conversation he had with Bill Gates: To be honest, I didn't really believe
him when told me about actually meeting Bill Gates a few months back to discuss
some really high honor, but anyway it's a awesome honor for a community
developer to have a real product named after him.
Congratulations David!!!
PS. Now I know why you couldn't tell me about those 4 days you spent in Seattle after the MVP Summit last month.
