    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:

    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.

      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.

      Need software developed? Offering C# development all over the United States, ERL GLOBAL, Inc is the only call you will have to make.

          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).

            Why use flash to create a dark gray scrollable empty panel? (why create it at all?) Or is that just my ad blocker :laugh:

                    Yeah Nish is right. It could be because Flash is something people actually use! ;P
