    Not sure how to respond to that comment :-). I think Silverlight is a great technology and its delivering some amazing user experiences. Take a look at the video section at MLB.com, its using Silverlight and the application looks great. Also take peek at the preview of the NBC Olympics website, they are utilizing Silverlight and you can check out some of the screenshots of what they are building at a fellow colleagues site http://adamkinney.com/blog/317/default.aspx. If you are having technical dofficulties getting it installed, then please let me know so I can try and help out. Thanks Matty H

    Thanks for your offer of assistance. I can't run silverlight because I am a linux user. I heard that Virtual Map has taken offline all their sites because of copyright issues with their maps.

    Oh you are running Linux, No problem, the Moonlight project is working to bring Silverlight capabilities to Linux. They are doing some great work, you can get more information about Moonlight from here http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight, in fact you could download it today and give it a try, I am sure they would love to hear your feedback on how their implementation is going. As for the current status of Virtual Maps, you would have to ask them directly on that one, I would not want to make any uninformed statements about a business I am not directly involved in. Matty H

    I too am a Linux user so your content is invisible. It looks like Moonlight (Silverlight via Mono) won't be ready for awhile. If MSFT was serious about Silverlight and open source they would support the Mono and Moonlight projects more completely than they have (like contributing engineers who have worked on Silverlight). Until Moonlight is available for Linux in a reasonable form [not via downloading source from svn and compiling after patching the still-in-development mono system) anyone publishing content in Silverlight is throwing away a small (but dare I say influential) audience.
