Like Tom said in forum, I will wait for beta2 anyways... its good if you guys can request a special commercial go-live for beta1.. otherwise, you will need to change your website. :) Hello Odi,

Hopefully, this thing will be the thing of the past soon and we all can use/deploy Beta 2. I’m keeping all my fingers and toes crossed :-)

I didn't see any FAQ page where they mention that it's not allowed to use for commercial application. The following is what they wrote in "Get Started" page. <blockquote> Beta 1 is not meant for mission critical applications. While Microsoft recommends companies begin to experiment and build with the Beta to ensure applications can be deployed on subsequent releases, there is also a Go-Live license available for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 for early adopters. </blockquote> When I read this, I don't feel like it's not allowed people to use Silverlight 2 beta1 for commercial application.. (not sure ESL problems or not :) ) It's like we can use it at our own risk.. I think it's not just me. There are a lot of people who are confusing about that. (Yes. Of course, I know about that at the very start since I'm participating in SL forum..) I just wish MS should simply wrote "Bata1 is not for commercial application" in that page.. :) Hi Ben,

When they say "No Commercial" they mean it. And this was clear from the very start when Beta 1 came out. So, I would release anything till this issue is clear! Just my two cents! ..Ben I wouldn’t mess with MSFT. When they say “No Commercial” they mean it. And this was clear from the very start when Beta 1 came out.
