Oh wait a minute you can't, seems as though you need Visual studio to do that, or is it the blend beta 2 December with the Silverlight alpha 1 sdk's or the blend 2.5 beta that will expire on July 1st. I just wanted to point out that Microsoft needs to get their poop in a group and just come out with a real final release of blend for silverlight web creation.

The only thing is that all Microsoft powered Silverlight examples have a browser check to display the "get silverlight here" button. Go ahead, compile a silverlight application and open it in Opera.. works like a charm, once the plugin is installed for IE. So all we're waiting for is an installer that can run from within Opera. Shouldn't take too long as I read it's next on the list. Funny enough, Silverlight actually runs perfectly well in Opera.

So I always have to 'open in Firefox' to see the fancy Silverlight stuff. While that may be an Opera issue as much as a Microsoft issue, the Flash player ubiquity is the key, and from the comments I'm reading, player version issues as well. Of course, I'm open to learning the platform and developing on it - but probably only if it gets demanded by a client so that there is some money to back up my time.

Not all that exciting though, I've seen plenty of Flex and Flash demos similar to this written up over at ely's blog (or someone's) a long time ago. Zoom and then load. *yawn*. Welcome to the richer internet, MSFT. But, it looks like the rest of us can finally play with with Silverlight 2 b1: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/#betajump I do have to agree with you though, at MIX08 there’s a lot of talk about the new new Silverlight beta 1 application over at Hard Rock Cafe: http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/ .
