MLB - Was problem Silverlight or MLB?
They dropped Silverlight for Flash, but still having problems? Was it really Silverlight that was the problem or is it MLB management?
"Major League Baseball purged all postings from an official blog in which it had candidly detailed its progress and troubles with a new media player for its MLB.TV game online video streaming service, a move that won't sit well with subscribers, industry insiders said."

"Those of you that follow me on Twitter will no doubt have been witness to some interesting (and sometimes tedious) discussions between myself, other Flash Platform enthusiasts and Scott Barnes of Microsoft.

"Before diving in, I should mention that the context for this comparison is line-of-business, forms-over-data applications. Mapping is an element of the application, but we are not talking about map-centric applications (I may do another post on that later). The application that I'm specifically looking at has more than 40 screens of forms, backing into a data model with more than 100 tables." - [More]

"Microsoft is bringing the drag-and-drop databinding that appeared in VS 2005 for Windows Forms to WPF in VS 2010. The WPF tooling will support entities from the new ADO.NET Entity Data Model in VS 2008 SP1 as one of the options in the data sources window, along with DataSets and Web services. Now you can wire the controls in your application to your database and other data sources in a reasonable amount of time -- RAD, anyone? Milind Lele, a program manager on the Visual Studio Pro Tools team, explains more about this functionality on channel 9 and in his blog." - [More]
