Silverlight 2 Release Candidate is out

Silverlight 2 Release Candidate Now Available - ScottGu’s Blog: “”

So I get why Microsoft is adding in controls like the combo box and password box to Silverlight. It’s what the developers want. They want these controls. But what I don’t get is, if Silverlight can work with HTML/JavaScript why do the developers want these controls, which already exist as either native HTML or as JS+HTML widgets? Why reinvent HTML controls inside of Silverlight?

    Simple - I don’t want an HTML+Silverlight page - I want the combo box to look the same on a Mac/PC - I don’t want to be restricted by trying to maintain some quasi-integration between the browser and silverlight

    I agree. The same ui may be ported to the Winforms, maybe moonlight too.
