I can only imagine that he means that he thinks Flash is so crappy that it actually enhances Microsoft's half-baked products (actually, let's try 1/4 baked) like Silverlight. I certainly wouldn't make that claim, for the record. Marc

I highly doubt that his mental state would allow such a complex thought process and conclusion.

Thank you for enlightening me. As per now, I thought Flash was from Adobe and formerly Macromedia.

Yes please shell repeat. I guess that your source of information is the same as "The capital of Australia is Milborn", right?

Did you miss the memo? Microsoft bought Adobe today. They are planning on rewriting Photoshop in WPF.

I haven't read any really good rants in ages... over to you, Squire Clifton, give us the full Suck Profile on Silverlight :)

Spill the beans, Grizzly - or else I'll just tell everyone that Interacx is built on Silverlight technology ;) :p :)

Reference[^] These are the controls that Silverlight 2 Beta 1 provides: Button Calendar CheckBox DataGrid DatePicker GridSplitter HyperlinkButton ListBox RadioButton ScrollViewer Slider ToolTip WatermarkedTextBox OK, it's beta. But where's the ComboBox? Where's the RadioButton? Where's the GroupBox? Where's the Tab control? Where's the Menu bar, Toolbar, Statusbar? These are standard things any 3rd party vendor worth their salt provides. Look at DevExpress, Infragistics, Telerik, and a host of fly-by-night companies out there. What is Microsoft doing? All that money, talent, resources, and they produce junk. Take a look at their DataGrid example. Pathetic. You can't sort by clicking on the header, you can't move the columns, I'm actually amazed you can resize them! Maybe my expectations are too high, but it's ironic that you threaten to tell everyone that Interacx is built on Silverlight, because I was rather hoping that Silverlight would be the technology I could use to create web-based Interacx clients. I'm investing in Telerik, because certainly, I don't want to wait until Microsoft catches up in a couple years. They are so far behind in what other companies offer at this point, their only hope is to buy out their competitors. Marc

Are you some kind of spam bot? Anyway, you should continue copying and pasting replies from other members as your own, this way the number of typos in your posts will be drastically reduced.

Nope, you just need a healthy shot of realism - Microsoft's controls have always sucked! Sure, they suit the needs of Visual Basic people writing dull Excel/Access monstrosities, but anyone looking to do anything different/new/innovative has three choices a) Don't bother b) Invest time, effort and money into rolling new controls or adapting existing ones, or c) Buy third party stuff (and the Telerik stuff looks very nice. I might buy those). (From my playing around, however, option B seems to be a lot easier with the new WPF way of doing things, certainly easier than mucking around with overriding OnPaint events.) Microsoft, of course, don't care that the existing controls suck and that you have to jump through hoops or spend money to get around it - mostly because they don't care what you or I think... all they're interested in is selling overly-inflated software licences into big business and putting one over Apple, Sun, Oracle et al. Silverlight is exactly the same: they want media outfits to replace Flash as the defacto advertisement and video widget, they don't care that you might want to use it for your own purposes.
