The company I work for is developing an ASP.NET application that is used by both PC and Mac users. We’re considering making our next version in Silverlight. If you’ve developed a business application in Silverlight, are there differences in appearance/performance etc between Silverlight on the PC and Silverlight on the Mac?
If you’ve had a chance to test Silverlight on different versions of Mac OS that would help as well.
My personal experience with programming for Silverlight is extremely limited, but I develop mainly for Mac OS X, and thus use it all the time.
I used to have Silverlight installed, but noticed that whenever it was activated on one page, as soon as I closed that page the entire browser would crash, I have since removed Silverlight from my computer so that I can surf the web without having random crashes.
This happens even on a clean install of Mac OS X, and using Safari 4 Beta or the previous release version in the 3.x version range. I am running Mac OS X Leopard, so it is not because I am running an older version of the OS.
Just something to keep in mind while developing for Silverlight, people may be reluctant to install yet another plugin when they already have Flash installed.
