ASP.NET (silverlight... .. ) [contniue]

vinnie

ok, thanks for the help.
Some of you, was right: too many words, to much marketing without
identifying the final user. Smithers gave the easiest answer.

Now, as i wasn't enough confused, on the Microsoft web site i found
these:

Microsoft Expression Web
Microsoft Expression Design
Microsoft Expression Media
Microsoft Expression Blend
and
Microsft Silverlight.

now, since i'm learning to build web sites with Asp.Net 2.0 C#, coming
from Macromedia Flash, i'm kind of lost. If Silverlight can be
compared to the good old Flash, and Blend to Photoshop, what are the
others for? (Man, in my head there is a revolution!)

Please, if there is anyone that has any idea about those Microsft
software, using EASY words, could explain me (comparing with other
softwares) what are they for?

A billions of thanks,
Vinnie

They are hard to compare, because they don't have the same target
group.

Microsoft Expression Web (replacement of ms frontpage) = like
Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver
Microsoft Expression Design (Acrylic) = like Adobe Illustrator/
Photoshop, create 2d/3d vector images
Microsoft Expression Media (iView MediaPro) = like Adobe Bridge, media
management
Microsoft Expression Blend (Sparkle) = like Adobe Flash, but more
directed towards creating GUI

Microsoft Silverlight (WPF/E) is a subset of the Microsoft Windows
Presentation Foundation works on multiple browsers/platforms. (XAML
and Javascript code)
Microsoft XBAP = XAML Browser Application, full WPF, but works only IE
with .NET 3.0 installed. (XAML and c# code)
WPF (Avalon) = Windows Presentation Foundation, new vector based
graphical subsystem of .NET 3.0

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
