    I work for a media company and so far we are scratching our heads off as to how it could be utilized...

    @chrisj206:

    if you're after desktop development then look at .Net technology, if you like web development more then I'd choose Java simply because it's truly platform independent.

    I'm taking it that it's for delivery of rich internet app's - the media is the eye-candy to sell it.

    I'm certainly not an expert.

    I have yet to see how it delivers VB/FW 3.0 content to a browser - no time yet to go there...

    The catch is that you may spend lots of time to develop something that's really cool but if your potential user doesn't install that plugin all of your work was basically done for nothing.
