When Microsoft's Brian Goldfarb talks about Silverlight, he is usually having one of two types of conversations.
Adobe Systems on Monday announced an early version of Apollo, software that will let people run Web applications online and offline.
A little-known Microsoft project promises to bring advanced graphics to a broad range of devices and set up a potential showdown with Adobe Systems.
Miguel de Icaza, who heads up the open source Mono project, has provided an update on a project to create Silverlight applications that run out of the browser, moving a small step toward what Adobe Systems offers with AIR.
Adobe has released an alpha version of AIR on Linux and announced that it is joining the Linux Foundation.
Here's the way things work at Microsoft. After correcting shortcomings in the first and second editions of its software, version 3.0 of a Microsoft product usually silences the company's worst critics, allowing management to get on with business of crushing rivals. But I'll be first to acknowledge that Silverlight breaks with that pattern.
Much of the future success of Adobe Systems hinges on the work done by its Platform Business Unit, which is headed by Kevin Lynch, the company's chief software architect.
With digital information exploding, Adobe's outgoing CEO sees room for innovation on the desktop and the Web.
Best known for apps like Photoshop, Adobe is relying on Kevin Lynch to break out of the shrink-wrapped software business.
In digital documents, Web applications and image editing, Adobe has a healthy head start. But Microsoft is making some noise.
Adobe's Media Player is an excellent application that is beautifully designed and easy to use. Shame about the currently available content.
Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.
Atmosphere is a decent prosumer app for small businesses and educators who want to promote an interactive Web experience.
Adobe Systems announces new versions of its video products--but Mac users will be out of luck when it comes to video editing.
Adobe's Acrobat 6.0 is an indispensable upgrade for any serious Acrobat user. But individual users should look for a cheaper option.
