#Silverlight for mac os 10.4 windows#

Same with WindowsвЂ¦its too bad for Netscape that MS included Internet Explorer with Windows but if it was worth having then people would have gotten it anyway. Oh wait, that would actually probably be bad for consumers because it would probably make things more difficult for them. Maybe they should be fined and forced to inter-operate with other music stores or devices. What about Apple tying the iPod to iTunes and proprietary music formats? That seems pretty anti-competitive. IвЂ™m really sick of Microsoft bashingвЂ¦all companies do the same things that MS was doing, just most of them arenвЂ™t big enough to warrent any attention. When it comes to video content, please promote the HTML5 video tag, possibly using a fallback technique like Video For Everybody which does not require JavaScript. Whether you want to participate in bringing an alternative to Flash closer to ubiquity is a whole different matter.

Microsoft also released the Silverlight 3 SDK and the Silverlight 3 Tools to get you started on Silverlight development.

Data: Data-binding improvements, validation error templates, server data push improvements, binary XML networking support, and multi-tier REST data support.

Application development: Deep linking, navigation and SEO, improved text quality, multi-touch support, 60+ controls available, and library caching support.

Graphics: GPU Acceleration and hardware compositing, perspective 3D, bitmap and pixel API, pixel shader effects, and Deep Zoom improvements.

Media: GPU hardware acceleration, new codec support (H.264, AAC, MPEG-4), raw bitstream Audio/Video API, and improved logging for media analytics.

There are lots of new features, and Ars Technica summed up the most important ones very nicely:

Officially, the plug-in supports Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3, and Safari 3/4, but I noticed that my Chrome 3.x installation on Windows 7 works with Silverlight content just fine as well.

Silverlight 3 runs on Windows and Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher, both PowerPC and Intel machines. MicrosoftвЂ™s main Silverlight web page has not yet been updated, but the release is really there, and you can get it here. It comes with a whole lot of new features. If 'About this Mac' shows you have an Intel processor, we may need to do more looking for compatible browser.A day earlier than expected, Microsoft has released version 3 of its Flash alternative Silverlight, including a number of related tools to aid in Silverlight development. TenFourFox does not use plugins so you cannot view videos. Therefor any page is a slow load but it will at least load. The only downside is that almost no web sites are optimized for PowerPC Macs any more. TenFourFox is a modified version of FireFox that lets old Macs use the web without sites saying the browser is unsupported due to being 'too old.' I use it on a G4 eMac running OS 10.5. If this is a PowerPC Mac, this is the browser most of use still dinking with old Macs use: Please tell us what your computer shows there. The second red arrow is where you will find your processor information. Please do 'About this Mac' and see what that says about your processor and post it here. There are at least three broad families of iMacs that at some point had white cases. The answer depends on which 'White iMac' you have.
