Silverlight advertised on Microsoft.com homepage
The offer to download the beta version of Silverlight appeared right on the front page of Microsoft.com . Thus, the Redmond giant begins to use heavy artillery in the war with Adobe Flash.
In addition to information about the new technology, Microsoft is beginning to actively use this standard directly for publishing its videos. For example, in this format they published on their website an advertisement for the new Xbox 360 Elite game console (now it is no longer there).
Graphic banner Xbox 360 Elite led to a page dedicated to the game console. At the same time in the upper left corner there is a small slogan: “Try it in Silverlight”. If you click on it, the plugin was installed, and then the video was launched. It was the usual WMV in Silverlight “wrapper” ( link to WMV ).
