Offline Silverlight: No current plans but eventually (And some Expression Blend news)
Martin LaMonica over at CNet talked with John Case, a general manager in Microsoft’s developer division about the possibility of an offline version of Silverlight. Case’s response was that there aren’t any current plans but he left the door open for something down the road:
“It’s something that we will want to do,” Case said in an interview on Monday. “Eventually, customers will expect us to do it.”
So you can wipe that off of your MIX08 predictions list, but it will still be a great show. Scott Guthrie posted another crazy-awesome long post about using Expression Blend with Silverlight. Microsoft will be shipping the beta a new version (2.5) of the Expression suite that I’m excited to dig in with. I’m a huge fan of Blend so even as an Adobe employee I’m pretty stoked to see how they’ve updated it for Silverlight 2.
