Hot on the heels of their latest release, the MSN Video and the Soapbox teams recently announced their plans to move to Silverlight. In their latest blog post:
What about the future? One topic we’re talking a lot about is offering MSN Video and Soapbox with Microsoft Silverlight. Silverlight just shipped a few weeks ago with a lot of benefits, such as offering – up to HD quality video on the Web for Mac and Windows today, and will support Linux later this year. We’re excited to move to Silverlight in the future and are working closely with the Silverlight team, stay tuned for more details. ;)
You may have also noticed that Microsoft’s flagship homepage, www.microsoft.com has started delivering interactive content exclusively in Silverlight as well. This is just the beginning. Moving forward, interactive content across the site will be presented in Silverlight. This has been a concerted effort by all teams, and our hats off to our creative agencies, McCann Worldwide, and Wunderman (among so many others) for helping to make this happen.
