Microsoft’s Ballmer and Ozzie tag-team on mediocrity
Microsoft Silverlight is a browser plug-in that allows the Microsoft .Net developed internet applications to run smoothly on the browser. This plug-in basically enables the .Net internet applications to find a familiar environment to be able to execute in. The Silverlight plug-in is mainly developed so that it could help a browser display high definition video content, smoother browsing and better security features for the internet. Silverlight is usually used in conjunction with the Microsoft IIS that helps in smooth streaming.
A couple of days ago Nvidia demonstrated 3D video streaming on their new PC that is specifically optimized for 3D performance. The PC is called the Nvidia 3D Vision PC and it is capable of extreme 3D application execution.
The demonstration of the 3D video was done by installing Microsoft Silverlight for the browser and Microsoft IIS. After a little setup, an online 3D video started that showed intensely immersive graphics just like watching a running game or a render in 3D Studio Max. The experience was simply astonishing and the possibility of 3D video streaming in the future really boggles the mind.
Ballmer didn’t have a straight answer to this question from the floor, but provided a half-baked reply, “My guess is if it did, it would be blocked”, unclear about the Android part of the question.
What remains unanswered is why Microsoft will continue to develop a product that has no future, given that Microsoft lacks a stronghold in smartphone arena. He could’ve mentioned that SIlverlight would be available on iPhone as soon as Apple sanctions it. More so, he could have talked about their tie with Google for developing an Android port. Given these, Ballmer could have taken it to Nokia Symbian port.
That was a gift. You would expect the two men to enthuse about how Microsoft’s dominance with desktop Office was now including the cloud as well, how the Office Web Apps enable new opportunities for collaboration, how Microsoft’s investment in XML for Office was now enabling the same document to live both on the desktop and in the cloud.
Nope. Ozzie waffles about people being more connected. Ballmer “disputes the notion that everything is moving to the cloud”.
