Die ORF TVthek und das kommende Silverlight Desaster

Die ORF TVthek ist ja, wie ich schon mehrfach ausgeführt habe, eine mittelmäßiges Online-Angebot des ORF. Eine der „Drohungen” des ORF ist ja, das Portal bis Dezember 2009 auf Microsoft Silverlight umtzustellen.

Abgesehen von den bereits bestehenden Problemen damit kommen mit Silverlight 4 noch einige Probleme mehr auf uns zu, welche die Nutzung von Silverlight auf anderen Plattformen als Windows quasi unmöglich machen:

… the HTML control in Silverlight 4 uses components from Internet Explorer on Windows and from Safari on the Mac. How bad can that be? Well, considering the same content is likely to render differently between the two browsers, this slightly defeats the purpose of using Silverlight to write one application that works on both platforms.

Ars Electronica

Aber es kommt noch besser:

… COM automation is a Windows-only feature, introducing differentiation between the Mac and Windows implementations. Since cross-platform Mac and Windows is a key Silverlight feature, it is curious that Microsoft has now decided to make it platform-specific in such an important respect.
The Register

Und bezüglich Linux braucht ihr gar nicht fragen. :(
