From my very little understanding, Adobe’s released Apollo, which is supposed to be competing with WPF. ANd also from what I’ve heard and read, it’s nowhere near close(Only JS, Not that many Libraries, etc).

Oh, and BTW, Silverlight DOES support File Access on the Local Machine, but in a sandboxed secure way. I’m testing how it turns out right now, and might have a post out soon….

P.S. A library of controls and other UI items is supposed to be on the way. I was looking for the TextBox control

And, hey, thanks a lot for dropping by!

Macromedia/Adobe isn’t big on supporting Flash in desktop applications, so hopefully Microsoft will beat them on that.

If Silverlight really does contain a WPF subset then it would be possible to achieve with some source mangement anyway.
