Even though it should have “happened” earlier, Microsoft’s official Silverlight site is now Silverlight-enabled! (It was actually Silverlight-enabled a few weeks back)
The animations are slick and smooth, for example when I click any one of the sections, there is no refresh, which means…partial-page updates…its the ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel Control in action, and the animation included in UpdateProgress Control, is a sexy spinning Silverlight Orb (I’m not sure if its a .gif file or an actual Silverlight animation), neat!
The site would be a great example that shows what could be done with the combined usage of Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX, everything loads faster, with the use of the update panel control, even the video at the main page, probably encoded using Expression Media Encoder, and the slick animated objects for each section were very cool indeed.
The only flaws of the site is that some of the content’s text color is light grey, even though it matches well with light blue, the text isn’t that readable. And the Silverlight RC1 build isn’t exactly stable, there is always error messages popping up, not only in this site, but most other Silverlight powered sites I’ve browsed.
Its funny though, where if someone wanted to download any one of the Silverlight plug-ins, going to the site would automatically prompt the person to download it, else he wouldn’t be able to view the site.
Well I doubt it’ll make any difference anyway, as Microsoft would most probably would be distributing it with Windows Update once its released anyway
