I also love Silverlight. The biggest issue is the versioning in my opinion. There will be to many versions and it will bring confusion to people, different sites will require different versions. I don’t think it’s the best decision.

And I agree with Laura – I’m also not the biggest fan of the Kyle add. But I am a BIG fan of PING! Keep on rocking guys! Smiley

Not to be nit-picky, but 1 is not a prime number. 2, which is a prime number was left out.

BTW, my real name is Kamal, in case you wanna mention it on your next episode. Cool

Silverlight versions... not sure why that would be confusing.

just like flash, update to the current runtime.

Bahhh.. two things:

1) I realized I didn't include "2" shortly after taping the segment... glad you guys caught that.

2) I somehow did not know that 1 was not a prime number! This has placed shame on my former title of Captain of the Quizbowl Team.

Kamal, you might get a shout out on the next episode... or maybe I'll just forget Wink

Paul, I think you're way off base when it comes to DRM. "The vast majority of people won't be able to copy..." you said? True but the vast majority of people don't want to copy and don't like being treated like criminals. DRM is not transparent to the average user. It only hurts the honest customer and it needs to be set aside, not embraced.
