Now, Microsoft's tools have all the stamps of Microsoft's previous attempts to get a foot in the door. more power to the small players, but I doubt any of them would seriously contend that they play on equal footing within the same mass market that 'Macrodobia' now owns. I own TextMate and Cyberduck for most of my general editing purposes. I'm not trying to discount apps such as GIMP, RapidWeaver, or their kin.

I'm no Microsoft apologist, but you -do- realize that you're eschewing a product that offers possibly the ONLY serious commercial competition to Adobe?ĭoes anyone here keep track of software prices, or see how dangerous it is to have the most prevalent tools in the industry all owned by one company? Adobe owns imaging, desktop publishing, and web publishing tools that have no seriously-credible competitors. If this was in the wild a few more years ago, we might have never seen the rise (and possible fall) of the ubiquitous flash. It does not appear to be able to take advantage of the multiple threads of the i7. I was surprised that it was so power-hungry AND that it was using 4 cores.

I noticed in the more graphics intensive samples that the 4 physical cores of my i7 chip were approaching 30%. But, I did note that one app asked permission before it accessed my webcam (and then sadly failed - perhaps not liking my Dell cam).

I can't speak to development ease or security. Google 'silverlight 4 samples' and take some for a spin. It can embed some fairly sophisticated apps into your browser or enhance the browsing experience by transforming the interface with a bunch of interactive eye-candy. Installation was simple and it didn't force me to quit or restart anything - one of my pet peeves.įrom a user standpoint, Silverlight appears to be pretty flexible. I have to give MS credit for Silverlight. You'd be surprised how much just tweaking the buffering can improve picture quality!

I highly recommend experimenting with the stream manager if you're unhappy with the quality of streamed video on Netflix. Supposedly the following work as well, but I've never managed to get them to function:įor frame rate histogram: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Fįor buffer level history/prediction: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V The first one is the crucial one to memorize, as it will get you to the others.

When Silverlight is running in regular windowed screen mode (ie not full screen): Sadly, it's not as simple as right-clicking on the screen (so I give it a slightly lower ease-of-use rating). I'm hoping this means that they've eliminated the bug, but only time will tell.įor those looking for a way to configure Silverlight to maximize bandwidth, etc., there is a series of menus for configuring the software.

Since the upgrade I haven't seen any screen flashing problems like I did on the previous version on Netflix (used to have the upper 1-2 inches of screen flash in a lighter colour on occasion).

I needed this update in order to keep using Silverlight in 64-bit mode on Firefox 5. It doesn’t suck down your machine like Flash does, for example. But, as far as the plugin itself is concerned, it’s not all that bad. Yes, it sucks that we have to have Silverlight installed for essentially the one website on the entire planet that uses it. Hopefully those Silverlight-developed features will be rolled into the next version of h.264 (h.265?). I also like Silverlights way of handling scrubbing thru a movie.Īnd, as others have pointed out, it looks like Microsoft has depreciated Silverlight in favor of supporting the industry-adopted h.264. Namely, not only the ability to throttle down due to bandwidth congestion, but more importantly the ability to throttle back up as congestion loosens. Speaking objectively, Silverlight does have some really nice features that are unmatched by Flash or Quicktime.

(And, as you can guess, DRM was required by the movie studios so that Netflix didn’t turn into a movie-downloading site). Netflix chose Silverlight because at the time it was the only cross-platform codec that supported DRM at the time. (You can physically remove plugins by looking here: ‘/Library/Internet Plugins/’ and here: ‘/Users/YourUsername/Library/Internet Plugins/’). As is “best practice”, I run with as few plugins as possible, as each one represents a real or potential security hole. Like most people here, I too hate that we’re required to have Silverlight install, just because of Netflix.
