Parece até engraçado, mas se a Microsoft tem a sua própria plataforma para desenvolvimento de aplicações ricas para web (Silverlight) por que eles procuram desenvolvedores Flash da concorrente Adobe? Será que o Silverlight não está emplacando como eles esperavam? Ou eles já desistiram e viram que pelo nível de penetração do Flash, vai demorar muito pro Silverlight atingir as massas? De qualquer forma, não deixa de ser uma atitude no mínimo curiosa. Segue abaixo e-mail recrutando os desenvolvedores.
