Windows 7 Windows Live

hey, am I the only one whose noticed that Windows Live is using JAVA instead of SILVERLIGHT for Windows Mail?? What's up with that?? I thought SILVERLIGHT was suppose to replace JAVA.

Well, to answer your question, no, you're not the only one to notice.
There's no real answer to this yet, but I suppose it's to accommodate users who don't HAVE silverlight. I have, however, heard that they're experimenting with a new interface using silverlight, so you may soon get a choice.

Yhanks for the info Kyle; I hadn't heard that. I just remeber all the hype from when SILVERLIGHT first came out, thought it a bit strange. New and Improved makes sense.
