    But since Microsoft announced the end of life of Silverlight 5 in 2021, we need to find a replacement some time within the next 8 years. We'd like to share some progress we've made towards our goal of moving to HTML5 video.

    Well, eventually they will move. Unless. You know. Something happens in the next 8 years that stops them.

    Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut!

        You've got to hand it to Microsoft. How many other companies would dig the grave, provide the wood and book the pall bearers for a technology that was proving popular?

        I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

          I am still amazed by their brazen ways. I really feel in limbo land. Not that HTML 5 with the JS libraries are anything bad, in fact I quite like angular, node etc but, its just when have had the taste for something good and its taken away it just feels odd. I am hoping WPF will continue to burn brightly otherwise I take drastic measures and learn PHP X| Anyway, hope you you Pete? Long time since I spoke to you. Liked the blogs on Perceptuals!!!

            Thanks Dan. I'm fine. How about you? I've just opened up CodeStash in VS2012 to see about upgrading the extension to run in VS 2012. What a complete PITA it's being. Next steps for me are to investigate the cloud services that Intel are working on, and to write an article or two on perceptual computing for Code Project.

              Nice. I look forward to it. you did say initially that creating the addin for 2010 was not pleasant. But you did. I would hope 2012 would have been better but I am sure you will succeed. Cloud services from Intel? sounds like fun. Been looking at the Azure stuff recently. Mainly their VM's and cloud based services which look great. They have just increased the price too which is nice :)
