I didn't see any mention of bandwidth caps. I hope they don't cap it. I'm not sure people see the flip side of having an extremely fast connection with the current model of pricing for most telecommunication providers. The speeds keep going up but the caps don't. I live in a building that has fiber provided by Telus, capped at 50MBps. I'm hitting 1TB down per month on average, I'd be screwed if they started capping my bandwidth. It's interesting how as soon as companies implement bandwidth caps we start seeing speeds go up.. just another money grab.
I have to agree here.. Anyone who has worked with Microsoft technologies and ventured in to Silverlight land KNEW it was not something to bank on. Slow maturity and lack of community, this product was dead from day one.
I'm glad they are moving towards HTML5 as their presentation layer standard. I've been doing this for months now anyway, like most .NET (ASP) developers.
