Greetings,
anybody knows what's up with Ryanair going with that stillborn Flash-wannabe from Microsoft (they call it Silverlight) in their new website?
I know that MS have of late been trying to push their "Web2.0" products by literally bribing people into using them (those of you with an IT background will know what I'm talking about), but between the recent website glitches causing downtime, and the huge inconvenience of using a technology which is obscure by all accounts I can't see how Ryanair would have got the sweet end of the deal this time.
I haven't been able to access the itinerary map on any of the computers I have tried, not even on the latest and spiffiest Windows machine here at work. I remember when Flash came out, they made sure the client would be widely available before they started rolling out content, which was never business-critical.
So, what is it going to take for Ryanair to go back to the old Flash-based destinations map, which was working just fine? If it ain't broke, FFS... :rolleyes:
(Incidentally, if any well-intentioned soul is thinking of giving me technical advice: don't. Not a luser by any stretch of the imagination :cool:)
