Odd for me to say something positive about Silverlight. I tried 1.0, and sort of gave up. After reading Scott Guthrie's blog entry about Silverlight 2.0, I might have to give it another shot - I like C#, but just can't stand ASP.NET.

What I really like about the Silverlight 2.0 screenshots shown is the the darn thing looks good. Frankly, out of the box Flex looks pretty lousy next to it. It's got clean scroll bars, good-looking buttons, and I don't see anything that's the weird-shade-of-blue-green-not-found-in-nature that's all over default skinned Flex apps.

Odd to see a Microsoft product that's graphically more pleasing than something from Adobe. Maybe Flex 4 (or a 3.01) could bring about a real skin update that makes our default applications look halfway decent?
