"Microsoft will provide an initial grant of technology,
services and
funding worth more than $3 million to enhance the online
accessibility
and interactivity of about 800 of the Library of Congress’
prominent
holdings...Microsoft Silverlight, a graphical browser
plug-in, will help
power the library’s new Web site, www.myloc.gov, where
users will be
able to access and personalize interactive materials."
So if you enjoy having unique content bound up in
single-vendor
proprietary plug-ins with near-zero market penetration and
tepid support
for non-Windows operating systems, stay tuned...
