Microsoft Begins Push Into Adobe's Flash Stronghold

摘要

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.
