Silverlight to run on linux! Oh wait that was last year.

Silverlight

So I’ve heard a few people today mention that Silverlight is going to be running on new nokia handsets. (Article 1, Article 2)

I especially enjoyed the end of the article 1.

Nokia is only prepared to say that a Silverlight developers’ kit is “intended” to be available during 2008, and that versions for S40 and Nokia Internet Tablets will be “confirmed later”.

Given how enthusiastically Nokia has endorsed every other Web 2.0 technology, its reticence is both uncharacteristic, and a little worrying.

Come on. Can’t microsoft stay focused on anything for more than 10 minutes. Please just show me another demo of silverlight running on my giant touchscreen coffee table. It works great when my cats not sleeping on it.

In conclusion. Microsoft please fix my Vista Media Center First. I would like a Netflix Watch Now plugin and to not have to reboot it every couple of days.

You know what I do like, SQL Server. Good job with that.

Thank you Ben for giving me my mornings rant. Its like most people without coffee.
