Ah, I dig...I wasn't aware that 1.0 was an official release. I always considered it kinda beta-ish. I guess the current relegation to the bottom of the page is the right thing, then, rather than my slash/burn/salt-the-crops plan.

in reply to ajhenderson,

yeah but SL 1 is currently the release version of Silverlight. It would be quite strange if we would toss all the vista books since Windows 7 is in the makings. Another thing to note is that as I understand Silverlight 1 will run on mobile Silverlight not SL 2... So I see plenty of reasons to keep the SL 1 stuff there... although yeah I use SL 2 too... not SL 1 :)

I understand that the Silverlight 1.0 stuff should be kept around for posterity, but why is it right there on the front page? It's a tacit endorsement/encouragement for people to develop on a dead platform. And can we ditch the SL 1.0 book ads?

In order to move forward, I think we should make a community effort to suppress Silverlight 1.0 tutorials, videos, etc. (burn the books, bury the links, develop self-brainwashing techniques to purge it from our minds) I wouldn't have such an issue with it if the various SL versions could play together nicely.

great job!

Good that we can still see a list of all videos :) and that the additional learning resources are brought out more. Before they were just too grey :P
