![]() ![]() The following articles contain more information about this security update as it relates to individual product versions. More information about this security update To learn more about the vulnerability, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS16-004. ![]() But comes wrapped inside a beautiful package that makes people "buy into it".This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Office. Silverlight is kind of like the "Windows Millennium of Frameworks" - buggy, expensive and gives few if any benefits to its users. Net Framework and the C# language being one of them, but neither ActiveX1.0 nor ActiveX2.0 are among those great innovations. Microsoft have created some spectacularly great innovations through out their history, the. Silverlight is nothing but ActiveX in a new wrapping with a new name and some new fancy colors - or ActiveX2.0 if you wish. I know it sounds drastic, but the "object tag" should have been the clue-giver here. But if you can be positively certain about that your customers are purely going to want to use your applications with Microsoft based Operating Systems, then I guess it doesn't matter that much for you. Which all together translates into less customers (users) for your applications. Not to mention that they have probably less then 1% of the mobile phones in this world. For you to follow this strategy is obviously quite dangerous since Microsoft is bleeding market shares to Linux and especially Mac OS X on the client. ![]() Silverlight will occasionally and partially work with many non-Microsoft based Operating Systems, but once Microsoft have acquired the market share they want for Silverlight they will have no financial incentives in getting Silverlight to work with neither Mac OS X, Linux, Symbian, iPhone or any other Operating Systems in this world not created by themselves - in fact their financial incentives will be in getting it NOT to work on non-MS based Operating Systems since this will drive adoption of their Operating Systems like Windows 7, WindowsMobile etc.
