Read MoreCheck out Microsofts Online Seminar page. You'll find the latest streaming media seminars presented by the experts. The presentations are not, bad but looking at the bulk of items that need to be pre-loaded for one seminar and the obvious complexity of the web page, you wonder how much longer it will take for MS and people to see the advantages of Macromedia Flash and Breeze. It is so obvious….why is is so difficult…? In any case, the content of the seminars is not bad and the subjects are quite interesting. Also, make sure you click on the -View all Presentations- button to see the entire list. Check them out: Microsoft Online...

Read MoreDoes anyone remember playing a game for the Commodore 64 called "Marble Madness". I think I was addicted to it for a while… Basically you had to control a ball through odd landscapes and gravity wasn't your only enemy. I mention this because I found this truly exceptional game, made in Director that resembles the "Marble Madness" game. High quality graphics and excellent animation makes you forget you are playing this in a browser. Try it:...
Read MoreI am somewhat surprised that doing a search for Flash on microsoft.com returned so few results. One of these reults was for SoThink Glanda Flash Tool. This tool is a simple Flash tool that allows for quick creations of mostly ad-type Flash animations. Developed in China, it is nothing fancy, but not terribly bad either. It also comes with a SWF decompiler for extracting symbols out of swf's. In any case, my surprise was that microsoft had done little to somehow integrate Flash into their ASP.NET or Windows software applications and, not having their own swf producing software, instead promotes an application of an unknown and small software firm….. I have wondered why Microsoft hasn't taken any steps to competing with Macromedia and Adobe and come out with a swf producing tool. So, why are they promoting this software? Is this a hint of what is to come? We'll...
