I really want to like Silverlight, but it is really hard to do. The idea is great, but if you look at v1.0 it is… meh…

Tafiti, Popfly and Halo3 banner at microsoft.com are supposed to look nice, but the animation is so jerky, it makes me cry. It looks like a kid having epilepsy. It kills whatever interest I had in the product. Ironically, I spent 3 hours last night reading up on Silverlight and it feels like the time was wasted. Should have played WoW instead. Dino Esposito was absolutely right - Silverlight 1.0 was obsolete before it even came out of beta. Stillborn?

I really hope v1.1 will be absolutely awesome, but as of now - it is embarrassing.

Tafiti? who would ever use tafiti if there is Ms. Dewey?

Sad, but true.
