You can code once and publish to DHTML or/and Flash, and in the future, additional platforms. There is one major platform missing in this lineup, OpenLaszlo. http://www.openlaszlo.org

The new FP9 splits rendering out onto multiple cpu's if they exist. I get 180fps on my T60p. Also, you should check out my Census RIA Benchmark app: http://www.jamesward.org/census The benchmark tests data loading, parsing, rendering, and sorting for Flex, Ajax, and Laszlo. I don't have a Silverlight version yet because I don't think Silverlight has a datagrid. But imho this type of test is much more relevant to real world applications than Bubblemark is. -James (Adobe) If you download the new Flash Player 9 beta from labs.adobe.com and run the Flex bubblemark test on Windows you will see a significant performance increase (especially on dual-core machines).

Silver light does claim to be cross platform, but in reality, the release date for silverlight for mac and linux are both over a year behind the windows version. I'm hanging out for the day when the flash player can take andvantage of the users graphics card to render 3D stuff.

At the moment, I beleive this only relates to the components that are used within the compiled swf’s, and not the core compiler itself - which very much limits what contributions and changes people can make to the tool." Actually, the Compiler will be open source too! “There is also the open source aspect to Flex.

So this puts Silverlight 1.1 in the same category as JavaFX, I think (not fully valid for production until mid-2008).
