The is one of my favorite RIAs out there. I wrote when it first came out praising the added interactivity and for making reading the newspaper a lot more interesting. I also think it does a good job of showing off WPF, and it was one of the first really good showcase apps for Microsoft's next gen platform. So when I heard that they were working on a () I was intrigued for a number of reasons. The screenshots make it look very similar to the regular WPF-based app and in some cases the post implies areas (like Search) are going to be better than the Windows version.
The Official site of Microsoft Silverlight. Download and install the latest version Microsoft Silverlight plug in for your browser. Type silverlight in your Start search box. If you see Microsoft Silverlight at the top, you had it installed. OR, Start button > All Programs > scroll down to find Microsoft Silverlight.
And it's all based on Silverlight: We are using Microsoft’s Silverlight technology to render the pages on the Mac version. Silverlight includes a subset of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) tools we use on the PC version. This allows us to keep the look and feel of the Mac version very close to the PC version and also allows us to reuse code across platforms. However, text flow and copy/paste are not currently supported through Silverlight yet will be soon.
More interesting is how they describe what goes on under the hood: For those who are technically minded, here’s a short description of how the Mac version works. We paginate the pages for the Mac version on our servers (the Windows version does this on the PC). When you sync, we send you pages for the four window and three font sizes described above. (The Windows version flows the text to fit your window size using WPF on your PC.) Times Reader for the Mac is a native Cocoa application, which uses the Safari toolkit and Silverlight to render the pages. This raises all kinds of questions (keep in mind, I'm an Adobe Employee). I assume they had to cut a deal with Microsoft to get a distribution like this.
Is this something Microsoft will offer more companies? Silverlight and WPF have been slowing getting closer if you look at Silverlight 2's progress but WPF has always been the better experience for creating.NET applications. In the experience world WPF is the Ferrari, Silverlight is like a Lexus, and Ajax is that Nissan Stanza that your sisters boyfriend bought for $50 in high school. WPF is what helps sell Windows so it's always been kind of against Microsoft's best interests to truly have feature-for-feature parity with WPF (plus it seems technically crazy to try).
But with the NYT reader they're giving users a taste of that WPF experience for the first time. Sure it doesn't have text flow, but that's coming 'soon' according to the post. By registering you become a member of the CBS Interactive family of sites and you have read and agree to the,.

Hello, Silverlight do not fully support some browsers on OS. Have a look at this If you are using Firefox 3.6+ or Safari 4+, I would like to suggest you try to download Silverlight Developer Runtime and see if it works.
