Silverlight in the enterprise
By "enterprise" I of course mean "business". Many partners have asked me over the past couple of months about best tactics to manage the deployment of Silverlight effectively within their businesses. Tim Sneath has posted a nice article about to do this in the best way using WSUS and Group Policy. Check out his post…
Grand Canyon and Deep Zoom
One of the technologies announced at Mix 08 this year was Deep Zoom as part of Silverlight 2. It allows you to zoom into incredible amounts of detail in high resolution photos and cleverly only brings back the amount of data you need based on your current view and zoom level. This allows incredibly smooth…
T5M – possibly the coolest Silverlight app to date
T5M (The 5th Medium) is an online magazine that merges the worlds of print and video in a very rich way. It’s a good example of how we see Silverlight being used in the future too with a combination of Ajax being used for some parts of the UI and Silverlight for others. It’s the…
Windows Live PhotoZoom
Via the LiveSide guys, I came across this neat video of software that allows users to zoom smoothly around photos and get more detail in a really rich way. This technology is based upon Silverlight and uses a technology called Seadragon which we first saw in Photosynth. This is going to provide a completely new…

Silverlight Streaming SDK has new home
Just wanted to let you know that the Silverlight Streaming SDK has up-sticks and wandered on over to the MSDN under the Windows Live node. The SDK includes a nice primer as to what Silverlight Streaming really is and also the architecture. Part of this features information about the content delivery network which, through our…
Interactive Media Manager Demo – very cool
I blogged about the IBC 2007 conference the other day and James Clarke just posted a very nice demo of Interactive Media Manager (IMM) today which looks extremely sexy with AJAX, Silverlight and SharePoint. The ability to have rich editing capabilities within the browser is very interesting indeed and for rough cut editing for videos like…
Silverlight, Mediaroom partnerships, Interactive Media Manager at IBC 2007
Jon Harris (Expression demigod), following the announcement about Silverlight 1.0 Release is demoing Silverlight and Expression at IBC 2007 this year and as well as showing off Silverlight, Microsoft made some other announcements that are very interesting if you are in the internet/rich media side of the business. Firstly we talked about Mediaroom, our TV and media sharing…
