Scott's Demo
So ScottGu is demoing Silverlight, he's running on a clean XP machine, no .NET framework, no media player installed.
He's downloaded a small ActiveX control that quickly installed the CLR, a whole load of video codecs and the application.
There is a comparison between the CLR and Javascript AI implementations. Incredible. The CLR whoops JS. You've gotta see it to believe it!
Visual Studio now has a SilverLight template, which creates a XAML file and a C# codebehind file. Let me reiterate, this will run on the *client*. Any client. Including OS X.
CROSS PLATFORM DEBUGGING!!!
Wow.
He just hit a breakpoint after clicking on a button on a Mac.
Intellisense against live objects running in a remote browser.
Isn't this cool?
