Microsoft has opened registration, as of January 25, for its Blend ‘11 conference. And to keep things interesting, the company is allowing the community to vote on which sessions they;d like to see at the April Mix conference.Microsoft posted today a “best of the best” list to the Mix ‘11 site, and is requesting that anyone with an interest (not just Combine attendees or wannabes) vote for their top ten external sessions. Voting closes on February 4.When perusing the proposals,
Office Ultimate 2007 Serial Key, I couldn;t help but notice the split — which first became apparent at last year;s Mix conference — between Microsoft;s Silverlight vs. its HTML proponents.Update: Yes — as a number of readers have noted (thanks,
Office Professional 2007 Key!), these are sessions proposed by non-Softies for inclusion alongside the Microsoft sessions. But the politics are still interesting to me….Some in Redmond (notably, the Windows and Internet Explorer teams) are putting their mouths and muscle behind HTML5, not Silverlight. Looks like some of the community are backing their play. Check out this Blend ‘11 session proposal:HTML5 and CSS3: The Future of the Web

This Combine ‘11 proposal shows some outside community members agree:Semantic Web with Silverlight
Rajesh LalLearn how Silverlight is the only tool which can provide the key ingredients for Semantic Web, the best possible performance, richest user interface, most widespread reach, hardware support, and privacy, and how it will always be better than HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript combined. Know how Silverlight distinguishes itself by delivering pixel perfect interface, 3D animations,
Office Pro Plus 2007 Activation, live camera support,
Office 2007 Standard, XML and REST based Web services, next generation Media, RIA services and cross platform support and how it is already making the vision of Semantic Web true today. (Emphasis mine)It;s not just going to be a Silverlight vs. HTML5 face-off in Las Vegas in mid-April, however. There are plenty of other Windows Phone, Azure and Surface 2.0 app-dev proposals on the tentative session list.The keynoters for this year;s Blend conference are Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President of the .Net Developer Platform, and Joe Belfiore, the head of Windows Phone Program Management. Many of us Microsoft watchers are expecting Microsoft to roll out at Blend ‘11 a beta of Silverlight 5, as well as a possible final version of the HTML5-supporting Internet Explorer 9 — just to keep that Silverlight-HTML5 rivalry alive and well ….
