Adobe win-back over Microsoft (part II)

As you can read on this article from ZDNet, the win-back by Adobe is not a minor one. It seems the reason is that Silverlight had (has ?) a lot of stability issues that led the MLB team to drop it in favor of Flash/Flex.

Although Microsoft claims it should disappear with the 3rd edition of the Silverlight runtime, this is clearly a big victory for the Adobe camp.

Adobe win-back over Microsoft

The MLB web site (http://www.mlb.com) has just been resigned for the 2009 season.

One interesting thing to note for us, fellow RIA fans, is that this update has been accompanied by a move from the Microsoft RIA technology (Silverlight) to the Adobe RIA technology (Flash/Flex).

So it is worth noting that this is one win-back from Adobe over Microsoft.
