Silverlight

Introducing Microsoft Silverlight

It is with tremendous pleasure that I can reveal Microsoft Silverlight: our next-generation, cross-platform, cross-browser web client runtime. Silverlight (previously codenamed "WPF/E") is a lightweight subset of XAML for building rich media experiences on the web.


I was at a Partner event at Microsoft's NYC office on Friday and an old friend was hinting about this, saying he was getting all these emails from Redmond, but he couldn't say a word because the announcement would be made at MIX07.

Silverlight supports playback of WMV files on both PC and the Mac, what is Adobe going to do?

More big news on the horizon at MIX07, we're lighting up the Web!
