Surface Website ... Meet Silverlight

Ok, so first of all, my apologies for not updating this blog in such a long time. Things have been a bit hectic around here lately. I have also spent some time away from the office. Anyway ... I'm back.
Just a quick post this time. In a previous post I ragged on Microsoft for not eating its own dog food. They preached about Microsoft Silverlight, but then would not even use the technology in its own websites, like http://www.microsoft.com/surface/.
Well, that's changed now. Microsoft has finally decided to use it's own technology over Adobe Flash. Way to go Microsoft. It took you a while, but you finally did it. You'll find it to be a great technology. I'm sure you'll run into bugs along the way like the rest of us, but you should be in a much better position to get bug fixes in whenever you encounter them!
