From a transcript of the SXSW browser panel:
Chris [Wilson]: The thing that I'm really passionate about is web standards. Silverlight is a part of the web just like PDF and plaintext are part of the web.
Uh, it's what now? (Read the rest of the panel transcript, it's pretty good.)
I was trying to think of an apt analogy for this, but all I could think of is pointing out to someone there’s a boil on their nose…
Haha… nice quote.
That was indeed a bizarre quote.
He does have a point hidden in there, in that browsers have accepted Netscape Plugins from the same time they accepted JavaScript (save, of course, for IE/Win), but the way he strung the words together, it’s just plain strange.
