O.P. RE: Life at Microsoft
Sliverlight is ridiculous, Microsoft just don't understand their users. Why can't things be simple to use?  |

RE: Life at Microsoft
Silverlight probably makes it easier on their side. I can't think of another reason not to use regular media formats (except for keeping non-windows users away)

Believe it or not, but Silverlight isn't a bad product.
If you look at the programmers side, making something in Silverlight can be rather easy, atleast with the "Visual Studio". Also, on the designers side it's easier to integrate your designs. Atleast, from what I've seen, that's the impression I get.

a.k.a the same objective every regular commercial company has.
But it's still pointless having to install extra software for an online video while there are so many better alternatives (from a user point of view). |

Microsoft® Silverlight™ is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/
http://silverlight.net/
So no more need of using different ways of embedding to make it work in all browsers, unlike flash. And yep it works on Mac too
On the point of easy: it is still fairly new so ppl will have to learn, and who said flash is easy?
