It's A Typo (Was: James Gosling: Silverlight Kicks Ass)

James Gosling: As much as I love the Mac's eye candy, it really hasn't been keeping up as a developer's machine - their attention has clearly been elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Solaris folks have made huge strides in Solaris's usability on a laptop with recent Nevada builds: the latest Gnome is quite lovely. Firefox, Thunderbird and Silverlight kick ass.

Silverlight kicks ass? This from James Gosling? Is he talking about the Silverlight?

I'm confused. Please somebody straighten me out.

[Update]

Comment from Simon Phipps:
I asked James and it's a typo. He meant to say Lightning (the Thunderbird calendar add-on).

That's better.

He means it runs fast on his Solaris notebook. I don't think there's any other way to read this?

Re: James Gosling: Silverlight Kicks Ass

I'm confused because this is the first time I've heard that Silverlight runs on Solaris. Is Sun doing a secret Silverlight implementation that the general public doesn't know yet?
