Well sort of. In yesterday’s post we mentioned that Silverlight would need to begin showing off what it could do, and today with the intro of Tafiti, Microsoft showed the potential of Silverlight in the context of everyday use with search.

Following the addition of H.264 to Flash, Silverlight can no longer compete on quality of video codec alone. Rich internet applications built on top of these codecs can do very unique things and the ability to develop these will likely be a primary determinant of success.

The increase in interactivity and engagement that will come as a result of these technologies will change the way people participate in media and will alter the way we interact with the web. Check out a demo of Tahiti via on10 here.
