Hi, I want to develop an application which involve record webcam at client side. And I found out that SilverLight 4 is ready for it. But is it ready to use for commercial application or just for developer?
While technically it might be ready with the features, I don’t know if it is accepted over other web technologies. Silverlight seems to be too late to the game so while it might have the capability, it might not have the audience. My employer (over 50K employees) hasn’t installed it on the desktops and I haven’t installed it at home (4 Windows systems). I’d encourage looking at customer installation statistics to ensure you pick the right platform for your target audience. If this is for a particular customer or a package solution, you can always make it a requirement of the product.

Silverlight is definitely ready for production grade work.
