I second that. Obviously one is aware that a new video is out, and relishing the prospect of intellectual edification, if it's related to a technology you're interested in. This is what gives people the idea that computer enthusiasts are "geeks", when people behave in such a geekish manner, people usually say "you ought to go out more" promulgating such offhandish trifling remarks.

To be absolutely pedantic about things though, how can you hear - quote "but is sounds nice" - something you've not heard (it's a video and there is no audio download)?

The proof of the pie is in the eating!

wow, ok well I did actually watch it, and am amazed. The one thing I was wondering is can you write stand alone apps in silverlight like you can do in Flash? Something that can run from say the CD drive.

Wait a second... wathing the video Scott mentions that the .net framework will be included with silverlight for Mac... and he also mentions LINQ, network stack, etc....

Now is this the same .Net framework we know and love in Windows? or is this some stripped down version? Does this mean we can run .net apps complied for Windows on Mac? or at least compatible versions?

Or am i just making a big deal of this?

I imagine you could if you embed it in a local web page or an .HTA

Very nice.

One thing I am glad to see is that the Silverlight CLR supports any .NET language. The original WPF/E CLR specs said that only C# and VB.NET would be supported.
