“The Silverlight 1.1 alpha release was announced by Microsoft at MIX07 conference, along with several related web tools. The Web Development Tools team has links to all of them on the team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2007/04/30/silverlight-1-1-alpha-and-orcas-tools-released.aspx). Silverlight is a cross-browser plug-in designed to let you write cool, rich-media apps in Visual Studio and deploy them in a cross-platform, cross-browser web client. The plug-in download is ~1 MB, it runs on MacOS or Windows, it doesn't require installing .NET, and it's derived from same source tree as the full desktop .NET CLR. J. Nicholas Hoover provides some more details on informationweek.com: Microsoft Details Silverlight At Mix 07 Conference (http://www.informationweek.com/software/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JJVXGJD04J3JWQSNDLRCKH0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=199202231).
