# re: Microsoft Surface and WPF Wednesday, May 30, 2007 8:06 PM by ScottGu Hi Portman, The www.microsoft.com/surface site above is still in Flash, but will move to Silverlight (along with the other parts of Microsoft.com) once Silverlight 1.0 ships this summer. Some companies ban installing beta software on client machines, which is why for really big announcements we still need to use non-Silverlight solutions in the interim. We are, though, starting to pilot using Silverlight on www.microsoft.com for "opt-in" scenarios already, and will use it in a lot more places once the final 1.0 release ships. Hope this helps, Scott
