Zoom-in Online

 Scott Guthrie put up a few slides at today's MIX09 keynote showing some interesting adoption data for Microsoft Silverlight.

Considering that Silverlight has only existed as a released product for a year and a half and that it has had to compete with an overwhelming install base of Adobe Flash, these numbers are a considerable achievement for Microsoft. Both NetFlix and NBC Olympics, who gave demos of their video streaming services, have standardized on Silverlight. Whatever doubts these firms may have had about achieving a critical mass of user installs have clearly been quelled.
