Arno# - The cutting edge of developer waffle

The beta of Silverlight 2 is likely to be released after its been shown off at MIX in a couple of weeks time. But to wet everyone’s appetite, Scott Guthrie - the boss of the team writing Silverlight 2 - has shown some early screenshots of it in action.

Nothing too exciting except for the fact that they are Mac screenshots! What is the world coming to when a Microsoft General Manager within the Microsoft Developer Division shows off Mac screenshots? I used to think that Microsoft employees were instantly sacked even for saying the word, let alone using one!

At Mix:UK last year, Scott did tell me that he viewed Linux, OS X etc as “arch friends”. Looks like he was serious…
