WPF/E, SilverLight and Windows Mobile, Yes I Was Right!

Don't you love it when you predict or speculate on something in technology and it comes true? Before Mix 07 Scott Hanselman and Carl Franklin on Hanselminutes did a show about Silverlight. During the podcast they mention my blog post whereby I speculated how Microsoft could get WPF/E running on a Windows Mobile device. Turns out, I was right!.
