And even if I did, I wouldn’t use SilverBlight, instead I’d complain to the site using it.

meanwhile, Flash and Silverlight are the two proprietary systems now being used widely

Silverlight? Used widely? Where? The only places that adopt Silverlight adopted are the places that Microsoft pays to adopt it. As to DRM, I think that even the MPAA is starting to realize that DRM isn’t a bright idea.

This could mean a break through of internet in the living room and a challenge to the current market positions of cable TV companies. I can’t wait.

Made me laugh more than once in a very nerdy way.

Also Dan. Since you have made a fine book for developers on Snowy Server… Can you also give us a surgical analysis on it.

I really want to know about

- The missing 10CAL license version
- Address Book Server, what are the issues
- iPhone as a client and the Mobile Gateway
- Is Kerberos actually stable and useful
- Is the spotlight bug for searching server managed drives fixed
- Is the Wide Area Bonjour actually doing anything yet
- Is there better monitoring/feedback for server apps, mail etc…
- Can you easily and reliably move the location of iCal and other Server Apps file stores without hacking
- Can Time Machine now manage network wide backups to a Time Capsule
- Are the VPN conflicts between Server and Time Capsule fixed
- Is it more reliable delivering services to Mac clients over a Wireless connection, and does the authentication via Kerberos not fall over the second a wireless connection drops
- Does the Software Update Server actually download only recent updates instead of ALL regardless and can its file store be moved and managed properly
- Are Server Admin and Workgroup Manager improved in regard to UI functionality and description
- Is the help documentation actually complete as opposed to just telling you what you can already see and offering nothing, often not even one extra word to the in Application UI text.
- Is directory utility improved between Snowy Client and Server
- Is the issue with having to reinstall the whole Server if you want to change your primary domain fixed (or endure great suffering)
- Does the Mail Server’s spam and virus options work and download updates yet or does it still just generate lots of errors
- Does the connected clients display actually update in a useful manner
- Can you reconnect a user to their internal blog/web calendar or is it still all lost if there is a Kerberos problem and you lose the user list
- Can you properly back up the users/groups in case of the feared Kerberos DB failure

Those are some examples of my experience using Leopard Server, backed up by reading the woe of others trying to solve same problems.

I suppose, the shorter question is, does it actually work yet, or is it still broken requiring hacking just to make it go.

@ Dan, can you shed some light on some of the other Pro features, in particular for me is the presentation mode, where you can direct output to another monitor which is hugely useful. Perhaps does the Q7 installation give these to you still anyway…
