Why Flash?

Probably because they do not host their web sites and thus they have to use whatever their host does.

Do you mean Microsoft? I will be stunned if this is true. They have their own cloud and they don't even host their own website :doh:

Flash still has far greater coverage than Silverlight. That must have been their driving reason for choosing Flash.

That's what I thought when I first read about it too, then I figured MS saw it as a way to spread Silverlight, until I saw it was Flash.

They didn't have a Silverlight developer open to do it so they advertised a requirement for a developer with 5 years experience in Silverlight or Flash. Having no Silverlight candidates they were forced to do Flash.

check the google styled menu on top right. Click on 'More v'. it will pop out an option window(i found it ugly and not matching the theme of the site, guess its just picked up from the msn site[^]) of options and won't go away unless you clicked on 'More v' once again. i wasted 10 secs clicking everywhere outside that window and trying to figure out how to get away with it. they made me realise how dumb i am, once again :sigh:

Yeah, they try to keep it quiet, but all Microsoft websites are actually hosted on Geocities. They tried to bring it all in-house by buying up Yahoo! last year, but it didn't pan out.
Hmm......Thanks for clearing it out. :-)

Indeed. If you want people to see you naked, just go naked, it's very liberating, more people should do it (but not kid sisters, nor weird uncles).
