Chatting too to Renai LeMay from The Australian Financial Review

I had an interview on the phone today with Renai LeMay from The Australian Financial Review .

I've spoken with Renai a few times, but the most fun I had was the Journalist v Blogger debate we had a Tech.ED 2005 (Tech.Ed : Day 1 : The Rest Of The Day & Tech.Ed : Sharing the love & the news)

So, what were we talking about this time? Why Silverlight of course!!

Questions included:

What was the buzz like at ReMIX 2007?
It seems almost like designers and developers are coming together and their skill sets are crossing over?
How are things going in Australia with Silverlight – it’s not yet out of beta but I’m already hearing cases of people using it?
Even though it’s still in beta, people are deploying it a month after it was announced. Is it easy for developers to pick up the skills needed?
The other side of the coin is the adoption of the technology – do you have any stats on how many people have downloaded the plug-in?
One thing I have heard is the focus on full-screen video. What are your thoughts on this and how integral is it in Silverlight?
What has been the reaction from developers in general – is it seen as just another technology they have to learn or are they positive about it?

How did I answer?

Well, I will save that to Renai's article and the readers of The Australian Financial Review. (or I might post some answers over the next few days)
