[...] I really wanted to use Textmate to develop Silverlight applications, and avoid dropping to windows. At first, it didn't seem possible, but eventually I ran into enough blog posts to figure it out. None of these had all the instructions in one place, so I figured I'd add the basic steps and comment on each of the posts I used. [...]

This is really an interesting video. It shows, that Silverlight works on any PC, on a Mac as well.

Of course, there is something quite funny about a Microsoft presentation running on a Mac.

I'm also developing Silverlight with Textmate. Quite easy, though I approve with Chris Evans – a XAML bundle would be great!

One of the most best aspects of Silverlight is that it worked on Macs as well as PCs from day one. It makes perfect sense to me that they would use the best text editor on the Mac to show that you can build Silverlight sites on a Mac as well.

Oh, and as they love to point out, Microsoft writes more Mac code than any company other than Apple.

When do we get a Silverlight / XAML bundle? :)

I think the hackers in Redmond get the mac and TM. It's interesting to watch them market silverlight. It's a product in which they really need support from the "web 2.0" crowd, definitely not their traditional corporate developer C# drone :)

I almost feel bad for Microsoft. Almost :)

It's not even the first time they use Macs for a MS presentation. Never heard of "eat your own dog food", I guess.

That was actually quite an interesting video, thanks for the pointer to it :)
