submitted by KMillerrKMillerr(2072) 1 year ago

Games inherently have a different UI and user experience concept compared to business applications. Where you scroll through endless lists of items and enter data in greyish forms on one side, you use a game pad or touch input to control a character through a thrilling fantasy world on the other side.

This article evaluates the options you have in XNA compared to Silverlight, and takes a quick look at the future. Read it over at Silverlight Show.
