a silverlight dev package
Thursday, September 20, 2007 
This is a decent way for Microsoft to approach a Flash/Flex/AIR developer: send them a package with a retail boxed copy of Expression Studio, a bunch of stickers and a roll of 8 million Silverlight 1.1 API overview posters. Has anyone else in the Flash-o-sphere gotten one of these yet?Now, I may not get to it right away, as I am having so much fun with AS3 and Flex and stuff at the moment (thinking about FlashLite too... seems like it might be cool enough to code in now), but this was a good move on Microsoft's part I must admit. From what I have seen online, I am not impressed.
However, having the tools sitting here I am much more likely to take notice and fire it up. Giving the tools away might mean more Silverlight content on the web for people to experience. Thats a good thing, even if I am firmly planted in the Flash camp.
I realize I'll have to create my own UI elements from scratch, etc. but if Lee Brimelow is playing with it, I should probably dabble in it too. C# doesn't look very daunting at all once you've taken a swim in the waters of AS3.
