  Adobe CEO responds to Microsoft's Silverlight
Time: 00:27 EST/05:27 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

The head of Adobe Systems has questioned Microsoft's commitment to keeping its new Silverlight platform compatible with other operating systems besides Windows.

Silverlight, which is seen as Microsoft's challenger to Adobe's Flash format, was unveiled Monday at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas.

"Microsoft, historically, has never demonstrated a commitment to maintaining a cross-platform solution," Bruce Chizen, CEO of Adobe, said in an interview Tuesday in Tokyo. He cited Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer as examples of Microsoft products that are still being developed for Windows but have been ended for the Mac platform.

Chizen was happy to suggest that Silverlight may suffer the same fate.
