AJAXWorld Scott Guthrie has been making a serious business pitch for Microsoft's browser-based media player rival to Adobe Systems' Flash.
The corporate vice president of Microsoft's developer division has lobbied a Silicon Valley AJAX crowd to adopt yet another media player, when they are already comfortable with Adobe's Flash or have the skills to hack their AJAX in the browser.
Opening AJAXWorld in Adobe's back yard of San Jose, California, Guthrie claimed Silverlight offered better total cost of ownership (TCO) than "other" players. He was speaking the week after Microsoft and Adobe released Silverlight 2.0 and Flash 10 respectively.
He also suggested it would be worth targeting Silverlight as Microsoft is gunning for a mass-market - meaning a huge addressable audience. He claimed Silverlight is running on one quarter of the world's PCs a year after 1.0 launched. It wasn't clear whether this number applied to end-user PCs or developer workstations.
