We have no control over their desktop therefore Adobe wins because of the Flash penetration. I can see your points on the enterprise scenario where the enterprise does control the desktop. I am not sure though that I see Silverlight gaining any ground in the B2B scenario that I described.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the input and the link to Curl.Mike Kavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722839431789381667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726426499105885054.post-52471510414060162732008-05-19T21:14:00.000-05:002008-05-19T21:14:00.000-05:00A couple things that are worth considering.First, ...A couple things that are worth considering.<BR/><BR/>First, the the platform that is most pervasive wins in the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) market but not necessarily the enterprise. Big companies who want to use RIA in the enterprise are not interested in flash player penetration; they are interested security and performance and they are willing to pay for that. This is the market that Curl (http://www.curl.com) is focused on. <BR/><BR/>Second: While Curl dominates the RIA Enterprise market and Adobe the B2C market, I think Microsoft Silverlight will challenge Adobe in B2C - the Microsoft Ecosystem is HUGE and Silverlight is a part of that ecosystem. In time, the B2C market will be evenly divided among the two platforms. Microsoft will probably give Curl a run for their money as well.<BR/><BR/>Richard Monson-Haefel<BR/>Curl, Inc.Richard Monson-Haefelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994866186768115012noreply@blogger.com
