What type of image-editing do you need? I don't recall seeing any bitmap or pixel manipulation in either the JavaScript-based Silverlight 1.0 beta or the DLR-based Silverlight 1.1 alpha: http://www.silverlight.net/QuickStarts/BuildUi/CallJavascript.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232842.aspx It's also difficult for me to imagine anyone trying to deploy atop such a moving target. Who's the "other vendor"? Java offers pixel operations, but I don't see sites like Fauxto, Picnik using Java.
