I forget what its called but I'm certain I've heard of it before. I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics on my Vista (ack) laptop and was very impressed with the show. Best opening ceremony of any Olympics I've watched ever. The Chinese have really shown what they are truly capable of. Anywho, I was sort of impressed with Silverlight. It worked pretty well, a FAST, especially in Firefox 3. I've had problems with Flash in the past on WinXP, Vista, and Ubuntu. Recently upgraded to Flash10 on my Vista machine and many of those problems have done away. The main one is random lockups and BSOD when watching Flash video in full screen for too long. With Flash10 that's gone. Can't wait for Flash10 for Linux to come out of Beta. I'm impressed with its Windows counterpart, its faster and uses less system resources. -- Michael "TheZorch" Haney <a href="mailto:thezorch@gmail.com"></a></blockquote></div> I would say that was a good thing until Silverlight takes over the internet and Linux users are forced to pay MS for the rights to surf the net. -- Douglas E Knapp <a href="http://sf-journey-creations.wikispot.org/Front_Page">http://sf-journey-creations.wikispot.org/Front_Page</a> </div>
