The video players, Adobe's Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight, are in a heated competition according to USAToday.
If you watch video online — on YouTube, MySpace, CNN, Hulu or elsewhere — you're viewing in Adobe's Flash, a software plug-in that's on 98% of computers.
But Microsoft hopes to change that with a new version of its Silverlight plug-in and software, designed for higher-quality online video and snazzier graphics on websites. The software giant has signed up some big partners to help show off Silverlight, including online movie rental service Netflix and rival Blockbuster.
I've learned my lesson - to distrust anything touted by Microsoft. I will stick with Flash, and there's no way I will download Silverlight.
